while diving into wine sources i've noticed that wine does not apply relocation to section not aligned to page boundary. Is there any reason for this behaviour? If it is wrong i've put up a little patch that solves the issue.
Do you know of an application that needs this? Or can you write a conformance test that shows how Windows behaves in this situation?
http://www.uninformed.org/?v=6&a=3&t=txt seems to imply it's not needed?

It is needed to load kernel level drivers (.sys files). I don't know how to test the windows behaviour with such cases. I think relocation is done to link the driver with the kernel interefaces.
