	this are stacks... [top ---> bottom]
	[buffer] is the overflown buffer,
	what follows is the place for the return address,
	&caller is the orignal caller, nothing has been changed.
	we write &buffer so RET jumps to our code... etc.

	this should have been:

        pop     something
        pop     something       ; some pops into regs
        pop     something
movesp:
        mov     esp,ebp
popbp:
        pop     ebp
        ret

	and for changing the stack pointer, we need something a little
more complicated than:

> [buffer] ... &popbp buffer+BUF_SIZE

	something like:

  [buffer] ... &popbp buffer+BUF_SIZE &movesp

	I think this will make it.


	Well, now it's a little better... sorry for the confusion.

	again, richie
