 Local Modifications:
 
-None; all local changes have been upstreamed.
+Enabled makeIslandExecutable for 32-bit i386. Main executables linked and run
+on Mac OS X 10.7 ("Lion") have non-executable heap pages by default. See
+http://crbug.com/79642.
+
+Changed the logic surrounding calls to makeIslandExecutable so that
+mach_override_ptr can return successfully when originalFunctionReentryIsland,
+an optional argument, is NULL. Failure in makeIslandExecutable will now
+trigger cleanup of allocated memory.
+
+Changed allocateBranchIsland to use a more appropriate address range per
+http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Performance/Conceptual/LaunchTime/Articles/Prebinding.html.
+The range for x86 (32-bit) with kAllocateHigh set is now [0xffc00000,
+0xffe00000). In this configuration, the loop is now guaranteed to terminate
+instead of exceeding its permitted range. Previously, this function would
+begin looking for a page at 0xfefff000 and would not stop, even after wrapping
+around to low memory. The URL above states 0xfefff000 is within a range marked
+"Reserved for use by the pasteboard and other system services. Do not use this
+address range."
