After executing my program I see the following:

MyLib.DLL Terminating!
Detected memory leaks!
Dumping objects ->
{29735} normal block at 0x04BDFBF0, 16 bytes long.

I know I have DEBUG_NEW defined in all my source code. This memory leak could lie in a 3rd party library or similar.

My question is; how can I use the above information to find the allocation that is never freed? The number between the brackets, 29735, is always the same!
