I hate to add any more to this thread then, but in general it's a bad 
idea to mix C runtime versions with visual studio, i.e. if you're 
building your app with VS2005, you may run into problems when using 
libraries compiled with VS2003. In theory, if you're just using the C 
interface, and not doing any memory allocation / deallocation across 
boundaries then you might be OK, but I've had problems even in this 
scenario.

Bit of a mess really.
