You'll screw up other people, too.
Please tell me another way to check if some memory range if safe
to be written to if this doesn't work anymore:
int fd=open("/dev/zero",O_RDONLY);
...
if (read(fd,mem,size)!=(ssize_t) size)
return -1;
/* ok */
return 0;
Please don't tell me to set up signal handlers, i've done that before
and will not do it again for this purpose. More so inside a library
which is supposed to (a) not crash and (b) be reasonable fast.
I'm actually using this feature in a logging library of mime,
and i will _really_ hate it if this doesn't work anymore.
