Using a.out compiled into the kernel is not working for me with
the 2.0.1 patch. I am getting segmentation faults when trying to
run the a.out programs. I also have ELF compiled in since most of
the programs I run are ELF, but a lot of the others require a.out.
I had to compile a.out as a module to get it to work. This was not
required with the 2.0.0 kernel.

The following is what is written to /var/adm/messages when ntpdate,
an a.out program, is run from cron with 2.0.1 with a.out compiled
into the kernel:
