Good idea.  That way maybe it will get some more testing.  AFAIK, I'm 
the only one who's tried this so far (at the suggestion of Corinna, the 
Cygwin maintainer).

No, I mean why ASLR doesn't prevent the fork failure in the test suite, 
even though it prevents it while building Emacs and in my daily use of 
Emacs.  Or maybe a better question is whether my ASLR patch is actually 
taking effect for the compilations done in the test suite.  There has to 
be something different going on there, but I don't know what.
