Hi All,

Debug is Broken, Release is OK. I've got test cases down to failures
on LARGE files in Debug Builds. The reason the large file does not
exist in Release: Debug information is stripped (I'm literally probing
my own EXE).

The original FileMapping code was shamelessly ripped from Matt
Pietrek's 'An In-Depth Look into the Win32 Portable Executable File
Format' (http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/02/PE/). I can't
seem to find what is wrong with the original useage.

I suspect this has to do with the Memory Manager's ability to keep
up... The only thing I tried at this point is ORing in SEC_COMMIT on
CreateFileMapping - with no joy.

Other statistics:
File: C:\...\Debug\CodeDump.exe

           Image Base: 00640000
      Virtual Address: 000A5000
          .text Start: 006E5000
           .text Size: 0015D5CE
            .text End: 008425CE

Image Base is the pointer returned from MapViewOfFile() - verified.
Virtual Address 000A5000 has been verified using PE Browse
..text Start: 006E5000 has been verified using PE Browse
..text Size: 0015D5CE has been verified using PE Browse
..text End: 008425CE has been verified using PE Browse

The Access Violation occurs within the range of '.text Start'/'.text
End'. Taking from the Output Windows of Visual Studio: First-chance
exception at 0x0053b4f6 in CodeDump.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation
reading location 0x007d9000.

Any ideas? Below is how I am using CreateFileMapping/MapViewOfFile.
