lot of exceptions in Visual C

[Chris Chiu <cc...@canada.com>]

I am getting a lot of "First-chance exception in Merlin.exe (KERNEL32.DLL):
0xE06D7363: Microsoft C++ Exception." while in debug mode of VC++ 6. Is this
normal? My application seems to run fine, but its memory usage keeps
increasing.  I have a DOMParser as a local variable to parse a XML file and
the function is called many times.  Can this be the cause of increasing
memory usage?

Thanks.

Those exceptions are normal. They are things like stack expansion and such.
As to the increasing memory, I believe that a number of memory leaks have
been fixed since the 3.1.0 code base, so you might want to wait until the
upcoming new release before you get too worried. Or, if you are adventurous,
go get the most recent code from Apache and build it and see how that works
for you. Its much better in many ways, and is representative of what the new
release would be like. If you do get the new release, and you think that the
memory is still increasing, then we would want to look into it.
