[hobbit] Memory usage BBWIn 0.8

[Jason Chambers]

This patch does not seem to work properly on Windows 2000 Server. The
client will not print off any event log messages to the server, and
shutting down the BBWin service fails all the time after applying the
updated file.

Good news, finally, I found the bug... There were a bad initialization
in the msgs agent in the function which build the description field.
So, there were always 32 bytes which were going into the sky for each
matched event :-)

I build a new version of msgs which fix the problem.

You may download the new version of the msgs agent from :
http://bbwin.sourceforge.net/download/msgs.zip

To install it :
- stop bbwin service
- unzip the msgs.zip file and overwrite the old msgs.dll
- start bbwin service

Then the memory should be ok.

Anyway, the fix will be included into BBWin 0.9.

So, you won't have to schedule an automatic restart of the BBWin which
was for me very offensive :-)

Thank you very much for your report,

I also have to thank the company codework for their great profiler and
memory leak software called GlowCode.

Best regards,
