Hmm, not sure but I suspect the proposed base address is colliding with 
some other DLL. I've had success with just zeroing the first nonzero 
digit of the address. So "--base=0xf7300000" in your case.
Try that. If that doesn't work, all I can suggest is running 'rebase -i 
*.dll' in that directory. It will mark any collisions with "*" and 
possibly show unused address ranges. 'rebase -h' to get help with that 
tool if you need it.
