Dan Kegel, you wrote:
To check whether we're too early in process setup to

with the ones used by the call in virtual_init(). This is
not especially clean, but I couldn't think of anything
better.
I was thinking, couldn't you place the RtlCreateHeap implementation with an
internal function, that takes an extra argument (boolean or flags) to indicate
whether to do this initialization step or not ?
Then, call the internal function from virtual_init() with the boolean set, and
have RtlCreateHeap just calling it, without the boolean set. I've seen
something like this being done elsewhere (but for different reasons)
I'm not sure whether this would be acceptable (performance-wise?) but it'd be
cleaner I think.
