Allocating and Releasing Memory Buffers

When allocating and releasing memory buffers on a Windows 2000 system, make sure each memory buffer is released from the same heap in which it was allocated. If it is not, a segmentation fault occurs.

For example, a memory buffer that is allocated using Falloc() must be released using Ffree(). If a memory buffer allocated with malloc() is freed using Ffree(), a segmentation fault occurs. The free() routine must be used, in the latter case, to free the memory buffer.
