My understanding from a Microsoft runtime perspective is that if you link
with a different runtime version of the library, there is a possibility that
object created within one runtime heap may potentially be destroyed in
another runtime heap causing application to fail.

The release and debug heap is different, so are those between single and
multithreaded.

Anyone know more about this different runtime heap?
