Just to keep everybody informed. I have made some progress in solving
the crash: do not link Ptlib and Opal statically to Ekiga but use dlls
( https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2832775&group_id=204472&atid=989748 ).
As to our Vista stuck on exit problem, I spotted the place where it
first becomes apparent: when the interface monitor thread is destructed
( https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2835713&group_id=204472&atid=989748 ). So far I have only a work around which uses brute force and should be avoided. Hopefully its not a heap problem.

Michael
