Heap corruption: What could the cause be?

Question

I am investigating a crash due to heap corruption. As this issue is non-trivial and involves analyzing the stack and dump results, I have decided to do a code review of file

Answer 1

have you thought isolating the source of the corruption using gflags? Once you have a dump (or breaking debugger -> WinDBG) you could see where the corruption is caused more precisely.

Here is some gflag examples: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdav_101/archive/2010/06/22/detecting-heap-corruption-using-gflags-and-dumps.aspx
