Quote - Precisely. How would a problem that was fixed five years ago still be relevant for this discussion?

Because you said they use standard malloc/free (I doubt there is any trace of new/delete in Poser code - C at best, assembly in many cases).  Well, have malloc/free changed in five years?  Was memory allocation different five years ago?  (No, it's been about the same for the past ten or more).  So it is relevant to Poser's superiorly archaic code that these issues persist even though 32-bit systems with such addressing have been around for nearly twenty years.  I will admit that Windows 98/ME and before were not truly engineered to support the possible 32-bit memory spaces, but this cannot be said of 2000/XP (and the issues of 4/ProPack still remain on these systems).

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
