Re: Self-contained executables on Windows 7

Hi Dimitris,

I wouldn't spend time on looking for a stack bug in calling xRoutines.
I think your code is OK.

Because I still run a W2k and XP setup, I can ensure you it doesn't
happen there.

After a few weeks, I now can also report it's not only a problem with
self-contained executables but also happens when running the scripts
directly.

I suspect the MSVC runtime from corrupting the variables space.
This may be a specific Win7 32-bit problem because some 64-bit users
reported they have no problems.
Windows 7 x64 has a special reserved folder to run 32-bit apps from
named "Program Files (x86)".

I also found that the results of UPX aren't bit exact on Windows 7,
compared to W2K, XP. In W2K, XP the resources are padded with zeros
but in Windows 7 with garbage (actually a part of the script).
