## Building Windows DLLs and C runtime (CRT) linkage issues
As a general rule, building a DLL with static CRT linkage is highly
discouraged, and intermixing CRTs in the same app is something to avoid at
any cost.

corruption, before asking for further help, please try first to rebuild every
single library your app uses as well as your app using the debug
multi-threaded dynamic C runtime.
