Hmm, I tried to find anything on that, but I couldn't.  I'm not sure
what the boost libraries I'm using were built with, but I don't have
anything special in my builds.  No multithreading(yet), none of those
defines.

Actually it runs fine without any symbols at all.  It only crashes if
no other program is hooked, like a debugger or dependencywalker.

I discovered that the problem happens/can happen on one of several new
calls, but only when linking to the date_time libraries.  I removed
everything from my project except the offending code, and the crash
only went away when I stopped linking to date_time.  I even changed
the type of variable I am allocating to double instead of
time_duration, and it only goes away if I stop linking to date_time.

I'm going to try to remove even more code and narrow it down, and then
I'll paste the offending code.  Basically all I'm doing right now is
initializing some time variables, then opening and reading from a
file.  It crashes on allocating 5 chars inside a function that reads
from a file(or on allocating the class that contains a
std::list<double> and a double).

Any other ideas?

Thanks, Jared.
