This patch fixes two different Visual C++ 4.1 problems described below.
- It fixes a problem you may be seeing in an MFC application that uses the
Microsoft database classes. While using certain ODBC drivers, you may get
"Out of memory" errors. See below for a list of files updated.

Knowledge Base:
Q148787 FIX: Run Out of Memory or Assertion in GetBufferSetLength()
- It also fixes the debugger problem in the Microsoft Developer Studio where
you may not be stopping at breakpoints you have set if your project was built
from a directory structure that contained long names. This problem did not
exist in Visual C++ 4.0. See below for a list of files updated.

MORE INFORMATION
================
Several of the MFC files that will potentially get patched are optionally
installed. You may get a message in the patch log stating that a particular file
wasn't found and that is OK. If you didn't install the Unicode MFC libraries for
instance, the patch program won't find them.
For any other potential problems and resolutions, please refer to the readme file
in the patch.
