The truth is out

Done 10 days ago (RTFS) ... I don't refuse to fix "my" bug ... but doing so won't fix the bug ("vulnerability") in DPMILD32

No please don't shoot everybody who isn't perfect. Leaving the stack random can raise random very-hard-to-debug bugginess, allows bugged apps to behave differently depending of "first run" or "non-first run" or other apps ran previously, what IMHO is very bad Clearing the stack + adding hack to fill it with mess instead makes the apps behave deterministically and helps to debug those buggy applications and brings up the evidence of bug allowing to fix or shoot them then
