Re: malloc() & page boundaries -- Difference between VC6 and VC7 C

I see lots of postings talking about "re-enabling" the small block heap in
VC7.. I'm just wondering if there was ever documentation posted detailing
exactly what changed in the allocator implementations. Do you know if
anything like that exists?

Thanks,
Andrew
