+
+which means slightly further up the stack:

+this makes sense as a return address because we see the first thing after ReadLine(), which is mangler()!

+
+looking at the weird mangler() call:

+
+the only part of this that makes sense is the callq 0x40ee3000 - the rest is... nonsense-y. long return, really??? maybe at the call site we'll see something useful...

+
+that pop pops the return address of this function, 0x4194fe2b, into r11, meaning we actually return to the *caller* of 0x4194fe26, back into main. so this method must use that pointer as information and probably is a 'patch-and-invoke' mechanism. the `sub $0x5, %r11` at 0x40ee3015 seals the deal, because that moves r11 back 5 bytes to point to the call here.
