Description

It would be useful if the following text (or similar) was added to the readme
for Borland CBuilder 6.0:

...

There's another known problem with BCB6 to do with linking single-threaded
applications to DLLs. Specifically, DLLs are normally linked to the
multithreaded runtime DLL (CC3260MT.dll); however, if an application is linked
to the single-threaded DLL (CC3260.dll) and consequently attempts to free memory
allocated by the MT DLL there will be an memory access violation. In particular
this causes problems when using the transcoding utilities that return allocated
memory (which the sample programs use).

Currently there appears to be no way of forcing an application to be linked
against the MT version of the runtime, therefore it is recommended that the
versions of utilities which accept pre-allocated buffers be used.
