Greetings,

	The stack of an exception handler (src/libc/go32/exceptn.s) is 
given as:

      [   *   |   SS  ]  
      [      ESP      ]
      [    EFLAGS     ]
      [   *   |   CS  ] 
      [      EIP      ]
      [   ERR CODE    ]
      [   *   |RET CS*]  
      [   RET EIP*    ]   
      [  EXCEPTION #  ]  

While the first six dwords (starting from SS) are pushed by the CPU, and
EXCEPTION # is pushed by the handler, who pushes RET CS* and RET EIP*. 

If CS:EIP is the location in the application code segment where the
exception occurs, what location does RET-CS:RET-EIP represent? 

Many thanks.
Gurunandan
