Can you elaborate on the situation where repeatedly initializing and shutting down CryptoAPI causes a large memory leak, particularly why you needed to do this. I raised a similar issue where OpenSSL suffers such a leak (though not large) and was told it was an unrealistic scenario. I couldn't think of a great example on the spot, but given the dynamic plugin architecture of large apps it's something that I feel needs addressing.
