Hello,

I'm a customer of Borland C++ Builder 3 (with no patches installed),
and I need some technical help about Builder 3, its patches and
Builder 5.

I'm developing a large program that massively uses dynamic data
(mainly structures created and destroyed when needed) allocated in
the heap. Now, an STRANGE "Access Violation Error" has appeared.
Why strange? Because it does not appear always in the same place,
depending on whether I'm running my program EXE file or executing
from Builder (in this case it appears much further, but it does
finally).
I'm ALMOST absolutely sure that no pointer is lost, and I cannot
imagine what other programming error could produce such effect, so
I guess (I hope to be right) that this is not a programming problem,
but a Compiler/Linker problem of memory (heap) management. So, my
question is: does Builder 5 (or any Builder 3 patches) include any
correction of this malfunction?

Many thanks.
