If mscvrt is mentioned in the error report then I think we are back to
my original guess - no amount of fixing will fix it unless you start
recoding.

Certainly our commercial support team for CVSNT have patches that on the
client side read the whole file with a single memory allocation, but I
don't think you will find any 'standard' builds that do this.
