When creating DLL using C++ Builder 6.0 I noticed that each time
you load the DLL using 

HINSTANCE hDLL;
hDLL = LoadLibrary( libname );

and after that freeing the DLL again with

FreeLibrary( hDLL );

that not all virtual Memory (See w2k taskmanager) is freed again. 

So if you now perform that a couple of times (depends on the size of virtual memory) my application crashes with 

'Runtime error 203 at xxxxxx'

On my machine this happens after let's say the 1800th time I called LoadLibrary...

However this does not happen if I am doing the same with a DLL build with MSVC++.

This happens with each C++Builder generated DLL (even with a project created by the wizard which is compiled directly after creation)

What I am doing wrong? Help will be greatly appreciated.
