I was being somewhat speculative. However, working back through the 
thread I'm not sure that anybody's mentioned the problems that can be 
caused if the app and DLL/so have distinct memory managers, e.g. the 
library tries to allocate an ansistring from one pool as a return result 
and the main program tries to free it in the context of a different heap.
