StackGhost will not stop every exploit, nor will it guarantee
      security.  Exploits that StackGhost will not stop include:
        
- A corrupted function pointer (atexit table, .dtors, etc.)
- Data corruption leading to further insecure conditions.
- ``Somehow'' overwriting a frame pointer with a frame pointer
                from far shallower in the calling sequence.  It will short
                circuit backwards through a functions' callers and may
                skip vital security checks.
