    Uh oh. I installed the checked build of XP SP2 to run my applications
    against
    and of course the first thing IE does when you launch it is attempt to load
    http://www.msn.com even when you tell it not to make it the home page.

    Shortly after the page starts to be displayed Windows reports "Duplicate
    memory free operation.
    Get a stack trace and report bug against the calling app (not against
    OLE Automation.)
    File d:\xpsprtm\com\oleaut32\typelib\oautil.cpp, line 965.

    I generated the necessary debug information and sent it to Microsoft. I
    really hope this
    is not a sign of things to come.
