SYMPTOMS
In your Microsoft Visual C++ .NET solution in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, the following two problems may occur:
 * The CRegObject::ResourceRegisterSz function does not test for a NULL value in the lpszType member. This behavior could cause failures when Component Object Model (COM) Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) are registered.

Note The declaration of the CRegObject::ResourceRegisterSz function is located in the statreg.h file that is included with the ATL source in Visual Studio .NET.
 * The CDatabase::Connect method passes an incorrect buffer size to the SQLDriverConnect function. This behavior could cause the application that makes this function call to unexpectedly quit.
