Subject: Re: Arasan 5,1 A --- be very careful on NT

Go up one level in this thread

As with most bug reports, if I can't reproduce the problem,
it will be very hard for me to fix it.

I did some research on this. I appears that Microsoft "fixed"
MSVCRT.DLL in Visual C++ 6.0, putting in a heap manager that
does more stringent heap checks. They subsequently found that
some Microsoft programs triggered a page fault when running
with this heap manager (There are no reports that I could
find of NT itself doing this). Microsoft subsequently issued
a patch that gave "old" pre-Visual C++ 6.0 applications the
more lenient heap manager. Arasan now ships with this patched
version.

That's all I know about it.
