This code needs to be rewritten to reference the static data using relocatable addresses (e.g. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/pic-fix-guide.xml or http://nasm.sourceforge.net/doc/html/nasmdoc8.html#section-8.2)
This code currently breaks on systems with readonly text segments (hardened Linux / Intel Mac)
