Hi Florin,

Just checking...

I assume that you mean that the SizeOfImage is 0x4000 with .data, not 0x3000 ?
The actual size of the executable does not change...

Agreed - and I am uploading a patch which I think will fix the problem.
Please could you give it a try and let me know if it actually works ?

Cheers
