Definitely.

Exactly what Javier said.

I ran into a ridiculously high amount of nasty bugs in Flexporter, because
of this issue. (MAX + MFC + my own engine in multiple DLLs, inlining all the
time, overring new/delete, mixing various versions of MSVCRT => blam ! blam!
more blam!)

Factories, factories, and some more factories. Don't even try fighting it,
you'll only regret it later ........ :)

Note that BoundsChecker usually detects the new/delete mismatch (and blame
you rightfully).
