[DUG] Long running apps & weirdness

[Rohit Gupta]

Trevor,

Two things.

1.  We have something similar right now to do with Crystal Reports.  I 
fairly sure that I have found the two problems in it.  One is that 
callback from a dll is into a nested procedure with local variables and 
could be called after the object has been destroyed.  The other is to do 
with strings.  The more strings we pass to the dll the faster the 
crash.  Basically memory/stack/registers are getting trashed leading to 
nonsense errors and even the app just disappearing. 

2.  Running out of resources.  Open the task manager and keep an eye on 
GDI objects (the worst), User Obects, Handles etc  GDI is the worst.  
Windows goes crazy, you cant even shut down.  Old version of Nero used 
to do this.  And ODBC driver for MSSQL did/does it too.
