Attached patch PatchSplinter Review
Win64 browser builds (not shell builds) allocate an extra page to store the exception handler record that needs to be made writable before we can initialize it.

The simplest fix is to add an additional VirtualProtect call. It might be possible in some cases to get away with one VirtualProtect call at the end, but I don't think it's worth the complexity.
