If you use ShareMem.pas, then one memory manager is shared between the
application and all the libraries. If you do not (like just adding
FastMM4.pas to the top of the uses without setting the sharing options),
then each library and the main application has their own MM. I guess you are
passing long strings or dynamic arrays around and that causes problems in
the latter case.

Look in the FAQ for tips on how to share the FastMM memory manager between
the application and libraries.

Pierre
