	No, I'm seeing it on Visual C++ 6.0, and it is not a
	compiler issue.  It is sensitive to way memory is
	recycled by the C runtime library.  I havn't been
	able to nail it, but Purify is reporting "Access to
	Free'd Memory".

	The bug is real - I'm chasing it now.  

	These other reports from different platforms reflect
	my observation that even a debug binary behaves 
	differently to a release binary.  There is memory 
	being used that might happen to be valid, or might 
	happen to be garbage.
