This is the detailed output that can be obtained with your example code. Try to get one like this in SUSE.

Question:

For some reason on suse 10.0 and 10.1 I cannot overflow the buffer so as
to overwrite EIP no matter what. The attached code is a very simple
example to illustrate my issue.  Basically the following is what I get
when the program segfaults on SuSE 10.1.

However, the attached program produced the expected results  0x41414141
in main () on FreeBSD versions 5.3 and 6.1, on redhat 7.2

Any ideas why this is happening?
