crypto++ strangely crashes

[Anton Dvorkin]

Hi!

I need to use cryptography in my project (visual c++ 2008 sp1, exe
with several dlls, uses some third party libs; crypto++ 5.6.1, Windows
7). I chose crypto++. I use it as static library. First, I tested all
functions I need in test console application, and everything works
fine.

Then I started to integrate this function to the project.

And it crashes on many of cryptopp function calls, including very
simple like this one:
CryptoPP::FileSource file("publicKeySign.der", true);

During the call of this line of code, application crashes with:

Unhandled exception at 0x00c56619 in Starter.exe: 0xC0000005: Access
violation reading location 0x00006f70.

Here is my call stack:

Both my project and crypto++ use Multi-threaded DLL runtime libraries.

I tried to change crypto++ project options for them to be the same as
my project options, but it doesn't help (after some changes
application crashes with another call stack).

Any ideas will be appreciated!

Thanks!

Today I tried to add crypto++ source files directly to my project. And
got the same result - application crashes even on simple operations.
For examlpe:

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE /*hInstance*/, HINSTANCE /
*hPrevInstance*/, LPSTR /*lpCmdLine*/, int /*nCmdShow*/)
{
CryptoPP::StringSource strCr("abc", true /*pumpAll*/);

//...
}

I can't understand the reason of this strange behaviour.
