Why on Earth are virtual addresses hardcoded into DLLs? Do UNIX systems do this for shared libraries? I've never heard of such a thing under UNIX. Shouldn't the NT kernel's page tables allow DLL text and data sections to be loaded at any virtual address without requiring a copy of the DLL to be made (i.e., rebasing)?
