Earlier speculation about the call was that we might explicitly
specify the context, e.g. GetProcAddress(context,procname).
I don't recall our discussion about whether not there had to be a
*current* context (even though the return is context independent) - will
try and look it up. Either way it should be specified, but that's a
separate issue.

Yep.
