I don't know much about Sybase, but given that you were doing a string compare, which
is by bytes, it is unlikely an alignment
error.
So it is either a bad pointer, or the program is trying to write to the storage heap
without going through DmWrite. The latter is
also unliekly for a tested program.
My guess: there's a string in there that's not NULL terminator, and the compare is
running off the end of the memory chunk.
But these are never easy bugs to solve. :(
