AFAIR it is only related to malloc/free usage which crosses
application/dll boundary. All memory operations in libXdmcp are
encapsulated, so it should not be a problem.

Yes, I'd love to hear from them too: distant memories from the past and
blind googling are not the best sort of accurate information.
