Your same binary works for me on Windows Xp. Your error messages are the
same reported by Dick on his win 2000 system.

The issue may be that the binary is relocated in memory in a different
place on windows 2000: the image base default is 0x400000.
Go into metadata/reflection.c, line 2279 and change

	virtual_base = 0x400000;
into
	virtual_base = 0x20000000;

This may as well not work: it's just a wild guess. I don't know why it
would work on a system and not on the other. You could try attaching a
debugger and try to poke inside the loading process.
