	vulnerabilities

Hello,

Please note his tests were on X86, SPARC needs double ret in order to 
successfuly xploit/segfault the vulnearable program due to register 
windows layout on stack.

Its like xfont (x-something, don't remember) issues on old solaris, 
exploitable (segfault) on x86 but not on SPARC because it does exit 
after the first ret, so there is no double ret chance.

Best regards,
