Re: Stack around variable rgval ist corrupted

By convention (since you don't specify), I'm assuming this rgval variable is
either an SPropValue or an LPSPropValue.

The error you're getting implies you've done something to write to memory
that wasn't allocated. The only reason you're not seeing a complaint when
you make it global is because for globals the appropriate checks wouldn't
happen until the process shuts down. Turn on pageheap for your process and I
bet it starts complaining even when you make it global.

So first thing you should do is look at how you used this variable. Did you
explicitly write to it? Did you pass it to a function that will assume it's
been allocated?
