It fixes Heap Corruption when starting KernRate, which I could confirm also in
all the older ros branches by using:
gflags /p /enable Kernrate_i386_XP.exe /full
Kernrate_i386_XP.exe
The older builds did not expose the user-visible symptom of "the app crashing" yet
(due to different memory layout),
but the heap corruption was already happening in all of them.
This is a squashed backport of:
0.4.14-RC-92-g d3e301e28b (the actual fix)
0.4.14-RC-93-g 651a011548 (fix for compiling on GCC RosBE *Lin* 2.1.2 carrier-releaser)
0.4.14-release-24-g 57efac32b1 (just a whitespace addendum)
