OK, new theory..

56 pushl 0
67 nopl jmp 0x6f
popl
jmp 0x8c

6f mov
test
je 0x8c

8c mov
call *(%esp)


So in the jumped path we miss a popl which pop's the 0 pushed before,
which is the exact address call is failing on..

Looks like gcc got its branches confused or something..

Am I reading this right?
