It seems to me that you are right. I have not thought about looking
at references to NT. Good catches!

There is also a reference to Nt4 in win32.c, for a comment that is
irrelevant now, so it can be IMO removed.

There may be a point in enforcing CreateProcess() if
CreateRestrictedToken() cannot be loaded, but that would be a security
issue if Windows goes crazy as we should always expect the function,
so this had better return an error.

So, what do you think about the attached?
