Note the strange limit here and EAX/EBX are huge positive (negative).  This
is a sure sign of address wrap - thus NT has returned an address block
*LOWER* than the initial address.  We need to fix sbrk() for NT - which
means either forcing unixy sbrk() or ignoring blocks returned less than
the original address.

Sigh.  I'm being punished for developing this insane stuff ...
