Are you sure about that ?
After investigating deeper, I found several problems in LSADUMP2 :
- Buffers too small (300 bytes for the smallest)
- Allocated memory not flagged as executable (that is why LSADUMP2 is
not compatible with the NX flag)
- Reuse of freed memory

Here is a small patch that has been tested sucessfully on Windows XP SP2
with DEP "AlwaysOn" enabled (where LSADUMP2 failed).
