Hi Ben,

thanks for that link.

It is not a good idea to disable the stack protection. I am not even
sure if our compiler will let you do this. This mechanism is used to
detect any buffer overflows and supposed to let the application crash if
there is suspicious behaviour like an attacker that is tried to exploit
the service.

Isn't there some other way like updating avahi to fix the crashing?
