SYMPTOMS
If a DLL module is repeatedly loaded and unloaded by an application, the DLL module may leak memory if it has any global C++ variable whose class has an implicit or explicit destructor.
CAUSE
The implementation of the C-runtime function, atexit, allocates memory that is not freed when a DLL that calls atexit is unloaded.
The atexit function is also used to implement C++ global destructors. This implementation causes DLLs that have global C++ variables to leak when unloaded.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft recommends the following:
- After you apply this fix, export the platform SDK.
- Re-link with the updated platform SDK any DLL modules that leak when repeatedly loaded and unloaded.
- If you (the developer) have an application that is built by using the OEM's platform SDK that has these symptoms, obtain the updated platform SDK from the OEM directly (not from Microsoft), and then relink your application.
