Segfaults on install (SUA version < 6.x) (FIX)
I just did a fresh install of SUA and debian interix on Win2k3 Server
64-bit and ran into problems on the configure step with several
packages, and then looked up the notes from my first install and
remembered the problem.
In my case, I was getting cores from perl with some of the dpkg-*
tools.
* The FIX:
Before running "ksh setup", either:
- install the hotfixes for this issue [Preferred]
+For SUA 5.x, I believe its 948918
[http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948918/en-us]
+For SUA 3.x, I believe its in the 913030 rollup [UNTESTED]
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913030/en-us
- edit boot.ini and change /noexecute to
/NoExecute=OptIn or /NoExecute=alwaysoff

Note: NX bit protection (MS calls it DEP) is a good thing,
so don't use this one unless the first one won't work.

Can we add this to the INSTALL doc?
* unrelated bug fix: base-files
base files needs to either check for the existence of
/usr/local/man, or use ln -sf to create the file.
(apologies for being lame and not generating a patch, but my "dev"
debian interix box is having some issues)
