Wouldn't this problem be ameliorated slightly if the perl DLLs all
loaded in unique addresses to begin with?  Isn't the problem that all
perl DLLs (and probably others) are loading in address 0x10000000?

Gerrit, would you be willing to change this so that the DLLs load in
non-default locations?  This would probably help everyone right out
of the box?
