How so? Patch v2 11/13 removes:

> -  VirtualMemoryTable[2].Length       = TopOfMemory -

and adds:

and in the current patch, you remove

> -  VirtualMemoryTable[2].Length       = TopOfAddressSpace -

So the current patch wouldn't apply before v2 11/13.

Anyway, this is not so important :)

Yeah :)

Thank you for explaining. I'll wait for the one and only v3 then.

Thanks!
