are there any further steps required in order to start L4env binaries? I
created a new L4env infopage and passed its address as well as mb_flag
(which is set to ~L4UTIL_MB_VALID) to the task's trampoline. In this
case the semaphore initialization fails and the task terminates. When
using L4UTIL_MB_VALID instead, the task starts as expected but
l4env_get_infopage() returns null.

Do I have to set up the section array of the infopage as well?

Cheers,
