I think Dave Korn mentioned that it's possible for the .text to be 
broken into multiple regions, so perhaps RegionSize
only shows the size of one of those multiple regions. There's another 
message on the list with more detail, either way
for me AllocationBase + RegionSize didn't match p.data_start for me.

Good stuff, I'll keep an eye on the snapshot site and give it a test 
once it's up.
