Just a thought : why couldn't ndiswrapper set apart some piece
of memory and use it as the stack by changing the esp register
before executing windows code.

Like http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.ndiswrapper.general/4737

It's dirty, I know, but after all they are executing win32 code ...

Why wouldn't this work ?
