- Thank god for the net!
-
- Despite calls to HP support to try and answer this one, the necessary insight
- finally came from Darren Smith somewhere deep within HP via this forum.
-
- The truth, it seems, is that all rpc memory allocation and deallocation use
- routines _rpc_malloc() and _rpc_free() which are NOT compatible with free() or
- realloc().
-
- Now that I know what's going on, I can workaround the implementation ...
-
- Thanks to all who helped.

- Regards,
