Shouldn't you pass the address of a variable containing the buffer size rather than the actual value? Have you tried checking the return value of that call?


It's still a bug of course if behaviour randomly changes depending on which erroneous parameter you pass (maybe the kernel doesn't deal gracefully with a wrong parameter there and uses an uninitialised value in case it's invalid).


32768 ends up being smack in the middle of the __TEXT segment, so whatever is at that address is part of the program. Thus adding dummy routines will change what part of the program that points to, and thus alter the behavior.
