SYMPTOMS
When you play MIDI files with the Microsoft Windows Media Player (Mplay32.exe) and specify Auto Repeat and Rewind, a memory leak of 4 KB occurs for each play. A memory leak does not occur when playing wave files on Media Player.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the pointer, which maintains memory addresses that saved 4 KB at the time the heap was allocated, performs heap allocation without releasing the heap and overwrites the pointer value.
RESOLUTION
