I also encountered such memory leaks when I inadvertantly linked in 
msvcstub.lib to my application.  It was very tedious to debug this 
problem, since my code was actually not at fault (only my linking).

A suggestion: how about the dummy functions in msvcstub.lib actually 
throw an exception, or at least log an error message?  Then if ever they 
are called, the problem will be quickly obvious.  This might save some 
other poor soul from much agony.
