   I would have to guess that your code takes advantage of some bug in an   
   older kernel, glibc, gcc, or [something else that lives in *lib or *bin]   
   that has since been fixed.   
      
   (Also, I don't trust anything that contains shellcode. Bad juju. If   
   you're going to run this, I suggest a biohazard box.)
