I am a new user of EPICS (3.14.1) on a win32(Win2K) platform.  I have
several client applications developed within the MSVC(6.0) IDE framework
that communicate using a similar framework.  I am in the early stages of
converting these applications to use EPICS Channel Access.  I have also
folded the example IOC program into an MFC application and hope to
incorporate some of the configuration and diagnostic tools that we have.  I
am able to initialize the IOC and access the data using channel access
clients but in the MSVC debugger I get a warning:  "Detected memory leaks!"
that appear to come from the call to iocInit().  Is there a proper way to
release these resources at shutdown.  I would rather not rely on windows for
this task.  Besides the necessary includes, this is the extent of the added
code in this application.

// IOC Initialization
dbLoadDatabase("c:/epics/ioc_test2/example.dbd",0,0);
registerRecordDeviceDriver(pdbbase);
dbLoadRecords("c:/epics/ioc_test2/db/dbExample1.db","user=AdministratorHost"
);
dbLoadRecords("c:/epics/ioc_test2/db/dbExample2.db","user=AdministratorHost,
no=1,scan=1 second");
dbLoadRecords("c:/epics/ioc_test2/db/dbExample2.db","user=AdministratorHost,
no=2,scan=2 second");
dbLoadRecords("c:/epics/ioc_test2/db/dbExample2.db","user=AdministratorHost,
no=3,scan=5 second");
dbLoadRecords("c:/epics/ioc_test2/db/dbSubExample.db","user=AdministratorHos
t");
iocInit();
epicsThreadSleep(.2);

I have some additional questions but will limit one subject per message.

Thank you for your time.
