This was with 1.1.0

I have a very simple test program that only contained an edit control 
and i had that coming up with valgrind just fine.

when i tried to valgrind Microsoft Word 2000 i had the exceptions thrown.

I am very interested in what progress people make on this. I just have 
not had time to go any further on it.
