@freak

How come the API call to getprocessheap_() work then ? When you say it shouldn't ?

I'm sure fred could explain it, but you now have your chance

Educate us

I told you allready...

I guess this is an undocumented feature of windows. (that you can use 2 different heap handles and both work)
But i wouldn't count on it, who knows how different windows versions handle this.

It's just a M$ *feature*, nothing more.
(I'd still stick with _PB_MemoryBase though.. just to be sure)

I just thought this was very interesting behaviour and wanted to know more

I might just RTFM one day
