Hi,

exactly this[0] happened today, on a 5.6.5 kernel:

  process '/usr/bin/rsync' started with executable stack

But I can't reproduce this message, and rsync (v3.2.0, not exactly 
abandonware) runs several times a day, so to repeat Andrew's questions[0] 
from last year:

  > What are poor users supposed to do if this message comes out? 
  > Hopefully google the message and end up at this thread.  What do you

Also, the PID is missing from that message. I had some long running rsync 
processes running earlier, maybe the RWE status would have been visible in 
/proc/$PID/map, or somewhere else maybe?

Please advise? :-)

Thanks,
Christian.
