I.T.Y.M. that the heap manager is in the runtime, not that each dll has 
it's own. Brian, i think you need to check if all your dynamic 
libraries are linking to the same runtime, including the xml parser, 
etc. F.I.: /MD for release and /MDd for debug if you want the 
multithreaded runtime libraries linked.
