RedHat 3.0 Advanced Server Web Agent Fails to Install (54535)

Symptom:

For a legacy binary (which does not have PT_GNU_STACK program header and assumes READ implies EXEC behavior), the kernel is mapping the data segment as not executable. Because of this issue, the Java platform does not run on a processor which supports 'execute disable' feature.

Solution:

The 2.6 kernels have solved this issue by using READ_IMPLIES_EXEC.
