You passed NULL (0) for lpAddress. In this case the region BaseAddress
is 0, and the RegionSize is a bit more than 2 MB. The region State is
0x10000 (MEM_FREE), so the fields AllocationBase, AllocationProtect,
Protect, and Type are undefined. Windows defaults to leaving this
region unallocated, which helps to ensure bad pointers (e.g. a NULL
pointer) raise an access violation.
