Ok, I'll dig into it to see what's wrong. Is this causing you major problems
(i.e. should I rollback the changes for now)?

The reason for the changes is that the Windows Installer (instmsiw.exe)
depends on VirtualAlloc() returning 64k aligned blocks. There are other
sources (e.g.
http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2003/10/08/55239.aspx) that
indicate that VirtualAlloc really should return 64k aligned blocks.
