I know it's a workaround, but given Marble is a bit of an unique snowflake in 
that it doesn't want to use ECM because it adds 0.3MB of dependencies, can't 
we just apply the LD_PRELOAD workaround on the "marble" job level (afaik we 
can do those things)?

What you suggest would be superb correct-ness wise but it doesn't seem the 
more effort/result solution.

Cheers,
