--- Comment #4 from Zeb Figura  ---
What exactly does 'execheap' do (in your own words, please)? Is there source
code for it?

There shouldn't be any point at which we flip the executable bit on memory
returned from malloc(). However, we may need to allocate memory (allocated
directly from mmap and not through malloc) which is both writable and
executable, because Windows programs require it.
