Comment(by trevorwekel):

 Added patch files for std::string safety and other potential thread safety
 issues detected by Valgrind on Linux:
  * Return a STRING type created from a c_str() call forces the std::string
 template to allocate a new copy of the string.
  * Replace CREFSTRING with STRING return values for consistency.
 Additional c_str() calls may be required depending threading usage.
  * Add refcount to MgUserInformation::!GetCurrentUserInfo() to guarantee
 object lifetime in a multi-threaded environment.
  * Null out various "Packet" variables to correct uninitialized references
