How do I check the EXEPACK option? EXEHDR comes back with the following :
=== START ===
Library: gcc446
Description: GNU GCC Runtime Version 4.4.6
Module type: Dynamic link library
Per-process initialization
Global termination
NO internal fixups in executable image
Number of memory pages: 00000009 (9)
Initial CS:EIP: object 1 offset 00000000
Initial SS:ESP: object 0 offset 00000000
Automatic data object: 2
no. virtual virtual map map flags
address size index size
0001 00010000 00007c60 00000001 00000008 EXECUTABLE, READABLE, 32-bit
0002 00020000 00000a80 00000009 00000001 READABLE, WRITEABLE, 32-bit
=== STOP ===
Both DLLs show 92 entries and the EXEHDR listing is identical for both...but
that's also the extent of the tools I know of...lol...

Yeah, it was a very weird situation...no matter what I tried doing with the
UniMix mixer to increase the volume, which is already at about 90% as-is, made
no difference. All I can say is that reverting back to the 'old' DLL cured the
problem.
