Hi.

Is it a joke or is there a valid reason for the:

> mov    eax, eax    ; EAX = EIP of THIS mov instruction :p

i just not get it.. ??

it seems to me that EIP is already moved to EAX
at the line where it says:

> mov    eax, [esp-4]


really tired here.. to tired to understand a joke.. (if its a joke)
please dont kill me for this remark.. i probably just need some sleep..
