I don't agree. loadfix works around the
exepack bugs by preventing the load to
some specific memory regions, AFAIK.
It doesn't *cure* the problem, because
the real problem is an exepack's bugs
and not the default DOS loader.
The only real fix is to get rid of exepack
entirely, which is to unpack an executable.
Actually I am unpacking all of the executables
I have here to avoid such a problems, but so
far the only problematic packers were exepack
and an old UPX.
