I did an install with the netintall CD, so kind of fresh install with
the new policy

At the moment I have
allow_execheap --> off
allow_execmem --> on
allow_execmod --> off
allow_execstack --> off

As the boinc_client needs execmem. Guess I'll file a bug with them, as
I'm more comfortable with this off...

Which brings me to the point, I should check whether the *service* boinc
(which I don't use) is running unconfined...

Interestingly I have another application, for homebanking, that's
throwing the famous mmap_zero violation. Which I still don't allow and
the application doesn't care... Probably lot's of bugs in their code and
code pathes that aren't too important :-)
