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.
