That is very similar to the other bug report I got.  The difference
between the debug build and release build is mostly optimization.
Since I cannot compile DGD with full optimization even under MSVC
4.0, I suspect the reason is some bug in the 5.0 codegenerator.  Or
perhaps the optimization options have been shuffled around between
4.0 and 5.0, so that the safe optimizations I selected for 4.0 now
map to unsafe ones in 5.0.

These are normal.  I didn't bother to deallocate all of the MFC
objects before the program exits.

That is not normal, but since the compiled binary is known to be
bad already I don't know if it is significant.

I recommend that everyone compiling DGD with MSVC 5.0 turns off
(some) code optimization.
