You are compiling main.c and dllfunctions.c and staticly linking both to the
c runtime.  this means that each there is a free() function in testdll.exe
and dllfunctions.dll.  that is the cause of your problem.

change the /MT compiler flag to /MD.

Or, for more proof, use add the following line to both main.c and
dllfunctions.c

printf("I am using free 0x%08X\n",free)

you will see that testdll.exe is using a different copy of free as
dllfunctions.c,  that is your problem.

It is not a win32 "dll boundary" issue.
