[lug] comparing libc and the DLL runtime lib in windows

[Ken Weinert]

For a project I'm working on I'm using some code found on the net as a
base. It was Windows-centric, but not rabidly so, thus it was easy to
convert it. I've been corresponding with the author and he asked a
question I'm not quite clear on and was hoping someone here with more
experience in the area could help me out.

Obviously libc is shared, but I'm not quite sure what he means by the
"multiple heaps problem" in his question.

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks.

BTW: he wants me to feed back the Linux version of his project so he
can put it on his page - which I will do, of course.
