SYMPTOMS
========

Under Traditional Chinese Windows version 3.1, if GetGlyphOutLine() is called
many times (more than 1000 times) on a Chinese font that's larger than 100
points, the GDI heap will be eroded rapidly and the application will eventually
fail giving a general protection (GP) fault.

RESOLUTION
==========

If GetGlyphOutLine() needs to be called repeatedly on a Chinese font, please set
the font size to be no larger than 100pt.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
