* I said I'd prefer that it (Msged) could work happily with a DLL (be it
  MsgAPI or MsgAPI38), yes - but that's not a bug.

* I'm running basically your 3.35 code here against SJD's MSGAPI.DLL without
  any problems whatsoever - as soon as I tried it with 4.x (or whatever was
  the version at the time that started this), it crashed.  Something,
  therefore, has changed between 3.35 and whatever version it was that
  crashed.

* You want to static link everything?  Go right ahead.  I just don't
  like/agree with designs that *force* you to static link in order to get it
  working.  With previous versions it was an option, and always worked both
  ways.  Ergo, my "snide remark" to which you took exception.

Link with the static library explicitly (ie., the ones ending in ".a").

I did - you were too busy theorising about "bugs" to notice.

 PE> Show me the code.

Found the archive, should have the code to you within the next few days
(ie., when I next get around to doing something about it).
