Some executables with "strange" formats are also marked as unmovable.  I
noticed this with the self-extracting LHarc version 1.13c (1989), which
could be moved only when renamed to another extention.

Do windows executables have an unusual structure, which is not recognized by
earlier versions of Norton's SD?
