There's something wrong with that test if it's forcing you to make a
normally writable sysctl read-only via kernel patch.

One would expect a sysctl like /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space to
be writable by root.  Changing that would confuse a lot of people.

I can't find any documentation for this tool, only broken links on the
web.  Perhaps it has been fixed to make more sense?
