Research direction

Start by locating the definition of the 32-bit Load_Configuration_Directory_Table structure and compare it with Microsoft's IMAGE_LOAD_CONFIG_DIRECTORY32 documentation linked in the issue. Load a PE binary and inspect the structure in Binary Ninja; done means the 32-bit table exposes all documented members without omitting fields.
