Hello,
I have really mass problem with Signal 11 on My box with grsecurity. Actually this problem occurs everywhere where I have grsecurity, its a lot of for example:
dmesg | grep signal

grsec: From XXX.124.26.XXX: signal 11 sent to /data/appp/http/index.pl[index.pl:3711] uid/euid:501/501 gid/egid:51/51, parent /usr/sbin/httpd.prefork[httpd.prefork:17363] uid/euid:501/501 gid/egid:51/5

or I can just run ./index.pl and also got
$ ./index.pl
<HTML>...
...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

dmesg:
grsec: From XXX.XXX.16X.2X: signal 11 sent to /data/appp/http/index.pl[index.pl:5798] uid/euid:501/501 gid/egid:100/100, parent /bin/bash[bash:5783] uid/euid:501/501 gid/egid:100/100

More details on my system:
$ uname -a
Linux serwer 2.6.11.12-grsec #3 SMP Sat Jul 16 02:41:10 CEST 2005 i686 Intel(R)_XEON(TM)_CPU_1.80GHz unknown PLD Linux
RAM: 1GB

$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.7 built for i686-pld-linux-thread-multi

Thats what I got from core:
(gdb) bt

It's not instability... it's grsec purposely killing it.

can you turn off randomization in PaX and see if the problem still manifests? i think there's a bug in there, would be nice if you could confirm it. if it helps, you could also selectively enable the various randomizations to see which one is the problematic one.

Actually I have PaX totally turned off and still got a lot of Signal 11 killing in dmesg.

Are you using sysctl? If so, could you enable the options 1 by 1, after loading each, attempt to run the perl script? See which one of the options is causing it to do this.
