Perhaps, but I have the impression that there's an "__int64" data type,
or something such as that, as well (I think it had at least one
underscore at the beginning, maybe more, had "int" in it somewhere, and
had either "64" or "8" in it).

I *think* shared library DLLs may get assigned a default address, and
get relocated (and, as in UNIX systems, made unshared) if they don't get
loaded there, but

	1) I'm not certain of that;

	2) I don't know how that applies to
	   explicitly-loaded-by-the-application DLLs.
