Comment (by simonmar):
Thanks for all the investigation...
Changing the linker to call VirtualAlloc() is certainly an improvement -
but please leave a ToDo comment in both the linker and allocateExec to
remind us to fix it properly later.
I suspect that allocating one page per allocateExec() would bite us. Some
applications create a ''lot'' of adjustor thunks, eg. I have a feeling
that Pugs is one (or perhaps it just does a lot of callbacks).
