  19. I think he meant something along the lines of using hard-coded (or
  20. calculated) pointers in code that doesn't really need them.  Like
  21. jumping from one function into the middle of another, or using the
  22. program's text as data, or....  any number of nasty things we should
  23. have left buried in the early 1950's.
