Ok, I'm almost sure I found the cause of the problem.  Due to an unlucky
combination of function calls, my new code filled up the internal heap
of the DLL without ever freeing the mmeory again, for each file access.
Since the internal heap is rather big by default, you only encounter this
problem for long running processes accessing lots of files.

I've checked in a patch.  Please give the next developer snapshot
another try.


Thanks for the report,
Corinna
