What kind of control is this?

[qWord]

using the following comand line, I get also a 4K exe  :bg
/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /MERGE:.rdata=.data /FIXED /RELEASE ...

- in my exe. the import table seem to have its own, additional read-only-section (.rdata)

I wonder if the new linker tries to protect the import table from attacks... makes no sense otherwise.
