Try also following this (from another email) - it appeared in vanilla 2.6.12 and may be in your FC4 kernel. Not sure but it may be playing a role here: "It looks like VA space randomization is the culprit. The problem only shows up when the host is 2.6.12, and can be solved by setting the kernel.randomize_va_space sysctl to zero.
