If you read too old emails, you might be a bit confused, since there
has been more than one version of SKAS. (I might write wrong here, so
please double check things). Current version is called SKAS0. The
previous versions of SKAS required modifications on the host kernel.
This modification used to allow a process to have multiple memory maps,
and a tracing process could use a syscall to change which memory map a
process should have at any given time. With SKAS0, this is no longer
required, hence the version was set to zero.
Googleling SKAS3 and SKAS0 should give some nice hits.
