Windows app crash with Pegasus library 2.91 when compiled with /MT option

Our company has an Windows application that uses Open Pegasus common and
client library/dll to communicate with ESX Vmware in-box cimmon. Currently
we use Pegasus 2.71 version library/dll built with VC++ 6.0. We are facing
issues when we attempt to move to 2.91 version to support x64 and Itanium
builds. We use Visual Studio 2008 professional  and Team edition. Our
company has a restriction not have dependency on Microsoft redistributables.
The default build done with /MD option has dependency on msvcrt90.dll and
msvcrp90.dll files. To remove the dependency I used the following flag
PEGASUS_EXTRA_CXX_FLAGS=-MT. This flag did remove the dependency but causes
the application to crash. Application built with default /MD option doesn't
crash. Even the cimcli program built with /MT option crashes. Please see the
below environment variables that I use.



set PEGDIR=%cd%\

set PEGASUS_ROOT=%PEGDIR%

set PEGASUS_HOME=%PEGASUS_ROOT%

set PEGASUS_PLATFORM=WIN32_IX86_MSVC

set PEGASUS_ENABLE_CMPI_PROVIDER_MANAGER=false

set PEGASUS_EXTRA_CXX_FLAGS=-MT

set PEGASUS_ENABLE_SLP=false

cd %PEGASUS_ROOT%

make clobber

cd %PEGASUS_ROOT%\src\Pegasus\Common

make -f Makefile

cd %PEGASUS_ROOT%\src\Pegasus\Client

make -f Makefile





I believe the crash happen when the Highlighted Array<HTTPHeader> header
goes out of scope, stack unwinds calling its destructor.



$PEGASUS_HOME\src\Pegasus\Client\CIMOperationRequestEncoder.cpp



    HTTPMessage * http_request = new HTTPMessage(buffer);



    // these variables are needed to call HTTPMessage::parse, all we need

    // is contentLength

    String startLine;

    Array<HTTPHeader> headers;

    Uint32 contentLength;



    http_request->parse(startLine, headers, contentLength);

    if (dataStore_prt)

    {

        dataStore_prt->setRequestSize(contentLength);

        dataStore_prt->setStartNetworkTime();

    }



    _outputQueue->enqueue(http_request);

}







The operator delete causes crash. File name is
$PEGASUS_HOME\src\Pegasus\Common\ArrayRep.h



template<class T>

inline void ArrayRep<T>::unref(const ArrayRep<T>* rep_)

{

    ArrayRep<T>* rep = (ArrayRep<T>*)rep_;



    if (rep != &ArrayRepBase::_empty_rep && rep->refs.decAndTestIfZero())

    {

        Destroy(rep->data(), rep->size);

        rep->refs.~AtomicInt();

      ::operator delete(rep);

    }

}





If I comment out the delete operator in unref(const ArrayRep<T>* rep_)
method in  Pegasus\Common\ArrayRep.h     file the crash goes away. But this
is also causing huge memory leaks in my application. Any help is
appreciated.
