I think you are right....  does changing

            bsd_args.addr = (caddr_t)PTRIN(linux_args->addr) -
                    bsd_args.len;

to

            bsd_args.addr = (caddr_t)PTRIN(linux_args->addr) +
                    linux_args->len - bsd_args.len;

fix that? or possibly just

            bsd_args.addr = (caddr_t)PTRIN(linux_args->addr);

can someone test this please? asap... it would be nice to squeeze this into 7.0R
