Description

I've been working on a simple Win32 program, using Vista 32 bit OS, just a gui with checkboxes, radio buttons and pagecontrol, nothing fancy. Codeguard enabled.

After every session that lasts more than 30 minutes or so, if I exit with the X in top right corner, or do File, Exit, I get the msg from Vista that Rad Studio has stopped responding, no other information.

Windows Event viewer shows this:
Faulting application bds.exe, version 11.0.2902.10471, time stamp 0x475fc257, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x4791a7a6, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0004311a, process id 0xc58, application start time 0x01c8eae063ef232a.

I have applied the Dec 2007 update, the May help update and the April 08 hotfix - though the April 08 hotfix does not show in the list of updates on About.

Steps to Reproduce:

Nothing yet, but I will continue to try different options to isolate the cause.

I was using GetText on a StringList within a ShowMessage function to show the strings I had read from the registry.
I read online somewhere that there was a memory leak in GetText().

CodeGuard alerted me to the memory leak. Once I commented out that call to GetText within the ShowMessage, the crashing problem was gone.
