That would be cool.  And if so, gcc should be configured to set the
large address awareness flag in executable PE headers by default.

Btw., did anybody experiment with setting the ASLR flag for DLLs?
Chuck's description sounds as if this really might help to reduce
collision problems at fork time.  If so, the ASLR flag should 
become default for DLLs.
