That makes sense.

I put a "patch champion" hat on and had a look at the proposed patch.
If I understand correctly, it looks like the code is detecting stack
alignment code, and if it does, then it considers that the parameters
will be relative to the arguments region address.

I wonder how this all works if GCC < 4.1 is being used.
