Thanks for the idea of switching to raw interfaces,

It was the reference counting as it worked when I went to raw interfaces,
and it was the line that made you uncomfortable.  What the problem was it
wasn't actually returning an IStream but ISequentialStream instead, so when
I changed IStreamPtr to be ISequentialStreamPtr it worked.

Thanks again
Dean
