Hello,

well i took a quick glance at this stuff.
MSVC runtime and MFC are linked in statically - thats why you dont see any
msvcrt calls.

--- snip runtime/linker signature scan ---

I verified with some executables with my tools further: different msvcrt library
signatures are found. 
They did not only mix different runtime versions but release and debug version too.
The developers have obviously no clue that *all* kinds of errors are introduced
by mixing this stuff (not only different heap manager/layout related ones!)
Even microsoft strongly discourages this.

My guess: they have some unresolved issues/bugs in their crap^H^H^H^Hsoftware
which only manifests if they compile all to release code (thats why some of
their executables are compiled with optimization off/debug).
I've seen this kind of "fix" several times in customer code.

I wouldnt spend any more time on this software until they resolve these issues...

Regards
