I was under the impression they'd gone above and beyond what 
Windows/Linux did in the way of ASLR? Perhaps not.

There are definitely parts of the runtime that could be affected by it 
that differ on OS X compared to linux/windows (TLS is the first thing 
that comes to mind), whether that would be affected at all by it though 
I have no idea.
