I haven't used BC, but I have used Purify.  I found that it was indeed
disturbing to see memory leaks in things like the C runtime and other
system DLLs.  However, at that time I had no idea how to report such
bugs to MS.  Now I can do it through the MVP channel, and there is
probably a way to do it as a regular user of MSVC, but I don't know
what that is.

Indeed.  I only come to the conclusion that a tool like BC or Purify
isn't a standard part of the development process for all of MS's
product groups.

For any leaks you think are D3D's fault, then you should report them
to di...@mi...

I recommend some sort of tool like this for any significant C/C++
development.
