Well, another difference is the addition of PATH_MAX*2 bytes on the 
stack. Those functions do some stack manipulations that I'm having 
trouble grokking. Does 'ret' need to be topmost on the stack?

As a test, I moved the 'ret' definition after that of 'dll_path' (in 
std_dll_init). So far with that change, I have not seen the LoadLibrary 
fatal error, though I need to test it more to be sure.
