on win7 w/o admin privs:
% bin32/drrun.exe -client samples/bin32/stats.dll 0x1 "" calc
Error in my_CreateFileMappingW: 0xc0000022

with a popup:

Notice

ASSERT FAILURE: e:\derek\dr\git\src\api\samples\stats.c:371: (0) ()

OK

both the app and drgui must be run as admin for the stats viewing to work.
this should at least be documented if there's no easy way to create a
low-priv version.

Currently I'm using a global namespace mapping object, so that it's visible
across sessions. However, it seems more important to have an admin-free
sample with notes on how to make it work across sessions. This issue
covers switching to \Local from \Global. We'll have to also switch to the
session obj dir from \BaseNamedObjects in api/samples/stats.c (on Vista+).
With the current loader kernel32 support, we could either throw all that
native API code out and use kernel32, or we could update it to use
something like the forthcoming get_base_named_obj_dir_name() in
core/win32/drwinapi/kernel32_file.c.

This was fixed back in r1879 along with issue #62
