SYMPTOMS

According to MicroQuill Technical Support, if your application is using:

the SmartHeap 3.0 or 3.1 DLL, sh30w32.dll or sh31w32.dll

-and-

the DLL version of the C runtime library, msvcrt40.dll that ships with Visual C++ 4.2

-and-

the application is linked with another DLL before the SmartHeap DLL,

you may have compatibility problems between SmartHeap and msvcrt40.dll.

NOTE: The properties for this DLL contain a description saying it is a "Microsoft (R) C Runtime Library Forwarder DLL."

The symptoms of compatibility problems may include a crash of your application with a stack fault in a call to _msize(), or a process termination without warning during initialization of a DLL.
