Different heap implementations.  The better ones will complain about 
bogus pointers being passed to free.
Remember that was what started me down this path to get the Windows GUI 
to work on mingw64.

I tried to apply your patch and compile, but unfortunately uiCurr does 
not exist in the Windows GUI
implementation.  I did a cut and paste, but uiCurr has stuff named "gtk" 
and there is no uiEventHandling
in the Windows GUI.  I need to do more research.
