Can somebody explain why this code outputs what it does?

// tested with Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad and Xeon
// tested with gcc4.1.2 gcc4.4.3 and gcc4.6.1
// compile with: gcc -O0 -m32
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <setjmp.h>

There are safe constructs that alter the stack you dumb piece of shit, have you ever of "return" you god damned retard? longjmp is another way of safely altering the stack. Altering it from asm is unsafe and it says so at the fucking GCC page, what kind of mental disability do you have because you must have negative IQ or something.
