I have also experienced problems when doing weird stuff with memory (writing outside of allocated areas, etc.) a long time ago. MSVC's Debug build ran fine, Release crashed. I don't know how good Valve's memory manager is; I have used "mmgr" from Paul Nettle back then which worked fine for my purposes.

Debug build in Visual Studio will assign default values to variables... while in release build if you don't assign a default value in the constructor or some initialization function you are just SOL. 90% of the time assigning default values will fix this problem.

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Well I have made the mistake of not testing my builds regularly without the debugger and now I am paying the price. Upon compiling a Release build and giving it to my team, it now refuses to load a map when run without a debugger. I get a "blah referenced memory at blah, memory could not be read" error.
Does anyone know where I can start to try and fix this problem? I've tried to remove newer code but it seems to make no difference (so far, if I get no help from here I'll just keep tearing stuff out until I find the problem).. What are the major differences between running something with a debugger and without one (I'd imagine nothing except that it would run slower)?
PS The result is the same for debug or release builds. ;( --
