I tried to recreate this by installing void x64_64 to a VM, but couldn't - the test passes for me.a My system ended up with a slightly newer kernel (4.17 IIRC). What hardware platform are you using? -d

I too have 4.17 installed, I just haven't yet gotten around to actually running it, so 4.14 is what's presently live on the system. If you want I think you should be able to replicate that aspect via 'xbps-install linux4.14' (and then of course booting said kernel). Zev

Have you twiddled any sysctls related to ASLR or security? -d
