VB does have a primitive (reference count) garbage collector.

That's me. :-) I just call the function and save the result in a VB string
(BSTR).

Well... actually CodeGuard doesn complain if I call that function from with a
test exe (within the BCB ide). However, if I create a dll (with code guard
enabled) and call it from VB, then I do get a messagebox from CodeGuard
complaining about a memory leak. :-?

If I run the VB code that call that function in the dll in a loop, memory
usage goes up pretty quickly.
