   Building Windows DLLs and C run-time (CRT) linkage issues

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   As a general rule, building a DLL with static CRT linkage is highly

   discouraged, and intermixing CRTs in the same app is something to

   avoid at any cost.

   Reading and comprehension of Microsoft Knowledge Base articles

   KB94248 and KB140584 is a must for any Windows developer. Especially

   important is full understanding if you are not going to follow the

   advice given above.

   If your app is misbehaving in some strange way, or it is suffering

   from memory corruption, before asking for further help, please try

   first to rebuild every single library your app uses as well as your

   app using the debug multithreaded dynamic C runtime.
