Try using the nsAllocator class - eg nsAllocator::Clone() should be used
instead of PL_strdup.

If possible, you should try and use the makefile.win system used by
Mozilla - then the flags are taken care of for you. I *suspect* that
you are seeing a crash as you did not use /Md (or /MDd for debug builds)
meaning your code and xpcom itself were using different CRTL heaps.
