Well, they actually *almost* fixed it in 5.1.1. But it turned out that
it had not been fixed afterall. Turns out, Visual Basic wasn't letting
go of it's IDL handles or something or other (not releaseing resources
or something) and that was causing the crash. 5.1.1 let you run a
couple times before crashing again.

5.2 seems to have fixed it, but I still get some odd behavior from now
and again. And I can prove that visual basic isn't "shutting down" IDL
each time I exit my sample program. I have a class that keeps track of
the number of times a certain member function is called, and between
runs, it doesn't reset. It doesn't crash out from underneath me
anymore, but sometimes when I am trying to gracefully exit VB, it gives
me some memory error and crashs.

Oh well, I guess baby steps are better than nothing.

Talk to you later,
