Andrew,

For reference, the proj.dll dmstor() function converts angular values
expressed as a DMS string into radians in numeric form.  In use from mapguide
I believe it would only be used when doing pj_init() to convert a coordinate
system description in string format to an internal coordinate system
description.

I imagine there is some sort of systematic problem at a high level with
left over requests continuing to be processed after they are no longer
needed.  I am doubtful that dmstor itself is at fault.

Best regards,
