Re: lea with fs override

I'd like to know, from userland, what base linear address my OS
(Windows XP) has set the FS segment (or GS, for that matter) to point
to.

I thought I could be clever, and do something like this (intel
syntax):

lea eax, fs:[0]

To figure this out. Unfortunately, LEA ignores segment overrides, and
I get back 0. Not helpful.

Is there another way to figure this out?

why not use
push fs
pop eax?
