I have some major/minor problems understanding your diagram.

What confuses me is that 'G' is right-most in step 1-6.
And that 'G' is left-most in step 7a.
This seems odd to me, Is this really correct behavier ?

I should have mentionen that I am talking about a x86 stack 
which grows downward. In my posting the stack therefore had
its high-addeses to the left.. and the lower addesses at right.
I see you have swapped 'bottom' with 'top'.. this confuses me.
Are you refering to a x86 stack or a motorola stack ?


Thanks Nobu for the otherwise nice diagram :-)
