hmm. i can't imagine why does it fails anyway. maybe some silly security
patches/features in the kernel? (it reminds me to l3codeca.acm problems)

or maybe problems with /dev/zero access rights, high-mem kernel options, etc.

yes, but these DLLs aren't relocatable, so even if it succeed it will crash
soon :(
