Are you *kidding*?  There is no way in hell I'm going to pay
Microsoft $XXX to fix a problem that is 90% likely to be their fault.
 Besides, I'm too poor to afford to risk loosing that much money. 
Since I am interested in this project for personal, not professional
reasons, I know my employer won't pay for it either.  Stephan seemed
like a nice guy, so I asked.  What's the worst that can happen...
he'll say no.  No skin off my back.

Don't waste your money.  It would probably be more useful to persue
your earlier idea of using libbfd instead of imagehlp.

Cheers,
Nicholas
