Rm_session_cap invalid

The 'Env::rm_session' is the RM session managing the address space of
the process. It is created by the parent (in your case, core) at
construction time of the 'Child' object. The RM session is created via
core's 'env()->parent()->session()', which is directed to the core-local
'Core_parent::session()' function (in 'core/main.cc'). For checking if
the constuction of init's RM session succeeded, I recommend you to
instrument the '_create_session' function in 'core/include/rm_root.h'
and the 'Core_parent::session()' function. Check for the capabilities
returned by 'ls->root()->session(args)'.

Good luck!
