It doesn't look like there's anything you can do about that. It looks to
me like something is corrupted, or maybe there is some bug in DirectShow
or some other code you don't control. I'd suggest a reinstall, and if
that doesn't work you may want to contact Microsoft directly about it.
Give them the smallest example that will reproduce the problem.

If you run the minimal code I posted over and over in a loop, does it
eventually run out of memory? Just to rule out any problems with your
dwHeapFreeSpace function.
