The changes in fact change the kernel ABI but any programs which has problems with this is buggy and it either can easily be changed, or it actively does something compromising the security of the system.

Unless, of course, there is another programming mistake in the program's code. - -- ➧ Ulrich Drepper ➧ Red Hat, Inc. ➧ 444 Castro St ➧ Mountain View, CA ❖ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/0h4J2ijCOnn/RHQRAhx7AJ4lUy5JcdE0bCwoKh6LMP0t/uOoMACgst4N mnLPEmLg3SIBUDTVVYZlpfQ= =sZ/A -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
