I see that the RichEdit library is not being free'ed in deconstruction.

CRichEditContext::CRichEditContext()

{

m_hInstance = LoadLibraryA("RICHED20.DLL");

....

Also, I dont think the "UxTheme.dll" is being free'ed either.

I am running an older version of BoundsChecker so its possible, its a mistake.

Hi,

Yes, for static objects we don't call FreeLibrary intended , because destructors of static objects will be called in DlllMain and MSDN say : "It is not safe to call FreeLibrary from DllMain"

I see, I thought you might call a "Cleanup" function at a known shutdown point rather than rely on a normal static deconstruction which happen in an unknown order and cause issues.
