• Passing buffered stream handles from the .EXE/DLL to the other module
  
• Allocating memory with a C Run-time call in the .EXE/DLL and
  reallocating or freeing it in the other module
  
• Checking or setting the value of the global errno variable in the
  .EXE/DLL and expecting it to be the same in the other module. A related
  problem is calling perror() in the opposite module from where the C Run-
  time error occurred, since perror() uses errno.
