When I close my program and call:

I get a "Debug Assertion Failed!" message (using VC++ 6) with the following
details:
File: dbgheap.c

What does this mean?
It means that data structures used to manage the heap have been
corrupted by your program.

This is usually caused by writing off the end of an array.
These bugs are usually very difficult to find. First an most obvious
place to look is a few lines before the crash but the corruption could
have been caused by virtually anything - even reading from a file.
If it is really this difficult you'll need to use a malloc debugging
tool of some kind. I use valgrind and efence on Linux. You could use
purify on Windows but I have have zero success personally with purify on
windows - most probably I don't know how to use it correctly.
Good luck.
