Stack randomization will result in the memory stack starting at a lower address than this, and if the user has set a low stack limit with "ulimit -s", then you can end up with the register stack above the memory stack (or if you were very unlucky right on top of it!). Fix: Calculate the base address for the register stack starting from the actual address of the memory stack. Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Signed-off-by: Tony Luck --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
