No slap from me. Your analysis shows conclusively that ASLR is and
always was a red herring.  "For every complex problem, there is a
solution that is simple, neat, and wrong." (H.L.Mencken)

I'm now really glad that the peflagsall functionality was kept separate,
and not made an automatic part of rebaseall.
