Maybe I'm missing something, and I apologize to the list if I'm spewing
forth irrelevancies and wasting bandwidth, but it seems that /proc/*/mem on
my system is always mode 0600. I don't think it's possible to run a copy of
the file if you can't read or execute it...

Thanks in advance for corrections if I'm wrong about this.
