Can you provide the modified wording for STV_PROTECTED? What is the
"normal symbol resolution"? Can you give an example where this
implementation of STV_PROTECTED would differ from the new
interpretation of that feature? If there was a change, what is the
difference between a protected symbol, and one that isn't?

TIA for your answers to those questions,
Martin
