here is the situation, i'm developping a Browser Helper Object (BHO) in C++ with Visual Studio 2008, and i learned that the memory wasn't managed the same way in Debug mode than in Release mode. So when i run my BHO in debug mode, internet explorer 8 works just fine and i got no erros at all, the browser stays alive forever, but as soon as i compile it in release mode, i got no errors, no message, nothing, but after 5 minutes i can see through the task manager that internet explorer instances are just eating memory and then the browser just stop responding every time. Please, I really need some hint on how to get a feedback on what could be the error. I heard that, often it was happening because of memory mismanagement. I need a software that just grab a memory dump or something when iexplorer crashes to help me find the problem. Any help is appreciated, I'll be looking for responses every single days, thank you.

1I believe this question is better suited for StackOverflow, as this is more programming/memory management oriented. Please don't crosspost, the post will be automigrated in due time and you can continue monitoring the answers over at http://stackoverflow.com – Sathyajith Bhat Jun 02 '10 at 01:54

I solved my problem using symbole files (.pdb files) wich i downloaded at microsoft symbol server. Attaching iexplorer.exe process to VisualStudio'08, i then received more infos on each .dll module that were taking part during execution. I then was able to find wich specific line where causing ie8 the crash. It was about CMutex lock (but this is another story).
