This would be super-cool if true, but it doesn't work for me. . .

If I try, I find

 C:\Windows\system32\ntmarta.dll
 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\sechost.dll
 C:\Windows\syswow64\WLDAP32.dll

in /proc/[ls procid]/maps but not in cygcheck output, but none of
those are BLODA, right?

[Note also that maps shows many things in syswow64 which cygcheck
shows in system32, but presumably that's because cygcheck itself is a
32-bit app, is it?]
