max_secW7.exe is not what it suggests

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In Windows7 (and afaik starting with Vista) the maximum number of sections is 
0xffff.

I've attached two files (32 and 64 bit) which have 0xffff sections. Some tools 
do break when trying to parse/load them.

It's the same limit for 64bit if you want to add that to the corpus.

They just have an endless loop at the entry point, but you can see in the task 
manager that they load and run.

pw (for both): "cleanfile"

maxsec is the maximum amount of sections that could be generated with Yasm.
however, 65535sects.exe already has 65535 sections and is included. it was 
generated via a manual python script.
