Hey, challenge is on:

main(){int i=0xc8c70ff0;void (*f)()=&i;f();} /* f00fies 44 char */
main(){((int(*)())"\360\017\307\310")();}
main(){int i=0xc8c70ff0,(*f)()=&i;f();}
main(i){int(*f)()=&i;i=0xc8c70ff0;f();}
main(i){i=0xc8c70ff0;((int(*)())&i)();}
(*f)();main(i){f=&i;i=0xc8c70ff0;f();}
(*f)()="\360\017\307\310";main(){f();}       /* 38 chars */

Compiled with gcc.

(Note that I haven't tested them because I have an AMD k5 which
doesn't suffer from this bug -- perhaps someone with an Intel pentium
could try them).

Adam
