I have demonstrated to myself that the problem is that the program
is not being started at the entry point, but slightly afterwords.

The workaround that I'm using is to preface the code with 3 nops. Thus the
code that uses the TPA pointer is executed (instead of a fragment of it).
The next thing I intend to do is hex-dump the binary and check that the
header is set up correctly, and that the 3 nops are actually there.
