     I am testing the tool THIRD that is a memory leak finding program.
     It works beautifully, but
     
     it makes ::operator new(0) return 0 even if it did return != 0.
     
     That's funny, but what is the standard ?
     
     ::operator new(0) on DU4.0D returns != 0 but
     malloc(0) on DU4.0D returns 0
     
     
     
     yours,
