Microsoft has issued a new Windows Update to test restrictions on DLL
loading in response to the recent disclosures of Windows DLL loading
vulnerabilities affecting hundreds of Windows apps.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2264107

In the most restrictive mode (CWDIllegalInDllSearch = 0xFFFFFFFF)
GnuCash for Windows breaks on startup, unable to find glib libraries.
The fix probably involves setting an explicit DLL search path via an
API call.

I'm using the 2.2.9 pre-compiled Win32 binaries from Sourceforge.

Just though you might want to get out ahead of this before MS decides
to push it as a mandatory patch.

Thanks,
Doug
