  The MSC malloc/free problem is known and, as you note, can occasionally  
cause problems. Since Microsoft is only a month or so away from releasing MSC  
6.0, as I understand it, there are no plans to provide a fix for this in MSC  
5.x. The Microsoft Users Journal published some code a while back to defrag  
the heap as I recall, but I'm afraid I don't have any more details to offer.
