I don't know exactly what's going on here, but there's a common
factor:

$ objdump -h dict_snowball.dll

dict_snowball.dll:     file format pei-i386

$ objdump -h ltree.dll

Both DLLs have a section .gnu_deb, whatever that one is good for.
Rebase crashes both times when trying to relocate this .gnu_deb section.
As you can see, the .gnu_deb section is pretty small, only 28 resp. 20
bytes.  What happens is that the relocation information for the .gnu_deb
section appears to be too big.  In case of dict_snowball.dll, the reloc
info covers 44 relocation entries.  The segfault occurs as soon as one
entry translates into a memory address which is beyond the committed
area of the file memory map.

Now, that's the *effect*.  From this I can't say what the *cause*
for this weird relocation info is.
