You saw the blood trace leading to XYcopy. At startup it could only be exist or getversion. We isolated getversion. And it was experimentally shown that getversion was the culprit. For whatever strange reason. But now comes the punch line! It was not Win8. It was Donald! I was wrong when I said I did not change the code since the last millenium. I actually added one single line last week! Because I thought (hybris!) it would be a good idea:
Code: Select all
CoTaskMemFree pBuffer
So you had the right intuition! Compiling 13.70.0103 would have shown that something wrong had been added recently.
