Hello,

Alexandre is right ... 

On Windows this app probably gets away because there are no MMX/SSE
instructions in native API code path which might cause alignment fault.
The native API will most likely end very quickly in syscall without any
additional validation/copying overhead.

I made some tests, manually fixing the API calls when required using per-API
suppression of MMX/SSE instruction generation (__attribute__ ((__target__
("no-mmx"))) __attribute__ ((__target__ ("no-sse")))) and for all called
sub-functions -> debug trace) and it seems the app calls more Win64 API with
misaligned stack pointer ... :|

Disabling generation of SIMD instructions won't help in some situations: any
page fault due to invalid parameters will blow the thing up too because the x64
exception handling also depends on 16-byte alignment constraint.

My guess: the obfuscator messed their code up, causing the misalignment.

If Alexandre has no objections we can use this bug as collector for apps that 
violate the ABI for Windows x64 (misaligned stack pointer) but mark it WONTFIX?

Regards
