Hi,
It looks like /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space is set to a non-zero
value. This breaks Gaussian (and from googling, a variety of other, mostly
older applications too).
I can't automate setting it to 0 in a launch script because the user
needs to sudo to reset it.
Can we preset this to 0 or is that going to cause other problems (like
security issues)?
Alex
