I'm sorry about my lack of in-depth knowledge here ... long ago, I read a brief remark about compilers or linkers abusing the most significant bit of addresses (which will be unused in a 32-bit process environment) as a behavioral flag, which I did not understand in detail, but since then I am unsure if there might be code – even in a DLL – which might rely on this bit serving as a flag, rather than being ignored. Very vague, I know. But some people use strange memory addressing trickery. I would not be able to exclude this as "half-wit nightmares", unless pointed to a convincing reason why I don't need to bother.

On the other hand, I can easily imagine issues regarding threading, despite the list of default plugin functions threading modes being so much tuned already.
