We (i.e. Perry) checked it out back in September 2001, and found it to
be horribly broken. We were considering using it for a basis for
StackGuard 3.0, but gave it up as a lost cause.

The good news is that the alpha version of StackGuard 3.0 is working in
the lab. We still have much work to do between here and a new Immunix
release, but now at least it is a deterministic amount of work :-)
