Disassemblind the code bytes, it shows up as:
0: c8 5d 83 c4 enter $0x835d,$0xc4
4: 28 c3 subb %al,%bl
6: 90 nop
which is definately wrong. Moving one byte forward it becomes:
0: 5d popl %ebp
1: 83 c4 28 addl $0x28,%esp
4: c3 ret
5: 90 nop
which a normal sequence of instructions for the end of a function. It
looks like a branch may have been miscompiled off by one. What
compiler/binutils are you using?
