Wait, what's the reason for preventing a dumped and reloaded emacs from being re-dumped?

  As linked, it's mostly incompatible with ASLR. If you were to undump to a different address, all the pointers break.

    Why doesn't that affect the initial dump/unexec? (Or in other words - if the answer is that ASLR is turned off for either initial exec or reexec, why not keep it turned off so that a third exec works?)

      Oh, it does. Sorry, I missed the point about the double dump. No clue about that. I'm happy not knowing.
