/*
 * gv postscript viewer exploit , infamous42md AT hotpop DOT com
 *
 * run of the mill bof.  spawns a remote shell on port 7000.  woopty doo. if
 * someone has been able to exploit the heap overflow in cfengine, please email
 * me and teach me something. after days of pain i've concluded it's not 
 * possible b/c you can't manipulate the heap enough to get anything good in 
 * front of you.  please prove me wrong so i can learn.
