Indeed. Try the following:
# echo 1 >/proc/sys/vm/legacy_va_layout
That doesn't have anything to do with exec-shield (I don't think), but
could be confused as such (Don't think Debian kernel have exec-shield,
yet). That is a workaround, and not a proper solution. If that
works, then kylix is making assumptions about the memory layout
provided by the kernel which are violated in 2.6.8+ (not the kernels
fault; kylix shouldn't assume such things).
