Hullo,

debugging an application I see a few things I can't understand such as the following:

0040110F LEA EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[40332A] ; Structured exception handler
004010B3 PUSH DWORD PTR FS:[0]

I can't understand their meaning. Why does OllyDbg print "Structured exception handler" and also, what is FS:[0]?
Finally what do the PUSHFD and POPFD accomplish?

Thank you.
S.
