you are mixing up unix problems with that of the Amiga. you have buffer
overflows on the Amiga and 10/10 times the program crashes out completely or
the machine reboots. if you did manage to get to a situation where you can
run arbitary code, then you'd have to have AmigaOS code ready to run...if
not already somehow magically put onto the Amiga itself.
