Yeah.  Even with a library, it doesn’t sound right to parse files
beforehand.  I think it’s up to the kernel to make the relevant check,
but perhaps there are good reasons why this isn’t happening here.

Anyway, pushed as 9556ac498fd648147ad7d3b52ec86202d0a8e171!

Yeah I would expect it to run code up to the first Mach syscall but here
it segfaults so maybe it crashes earlier.
