553725 - rebase DLLs on Windows

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 484799

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dietrich Ayala (:dietrich)]

From Ehsan:

* Rebasing our DLLs
When Windows tries to load a DLL, it first tries to map the DLL at
0x10000000.  If that doesn't work, the OS finds another space in the
address space big enough for the DLL, maps the DLL in that address,
and goes through something called the fixup phase, which means it
looks for places in the DLL code which have absolute addresses (like
absolute jmp's, and static objects) and modifies their addresses to
make them valid.

(Note: we might already do this)
