I've recently built -current (got from CVS on 20020722).. how can I
tell if my install has non-executable stacks ? Given that the
snapshots are from the same date (at least on my local mirror), I
guess I've got them now but is there some way to tell (other then
failing at trying to use (exploit) an executable stack) ?

Interesting developments .. thanks to the developpers for their code
and time.
