That is indeed the correct way to do what you are trying to do. The
heap allocation error sounds like the error you get when you mix debug
and non-debug code on Windows. Make sure that if you are compiling
code with debugging you use the debug DLLs; if you don't compile with
debugging, use the non-debug DLLs.

Cheers,

Duncan.
