Sorry for the confusion. I am saying that the MS hotfix does not fix the 
problem I am having with the query object, like I thought it would. The 
MS hotfix fixed the memory leak in basic_iostream (used in fstream and 
stringstream, and others) - which I thought may have fixed the query 
object since it inherits from ostream. But no. I only mentioned the MS 
hotfix so anyone aware of the memory leak in MS's CRT would know I have 
a patch for it, so that shouldn't be the problem.
