This feature was really nice (since i use VC), is this somehow disable, is there some switch option i need for it to work again, ofcourse the #defines in juce\_config stay the same, i tried both amalgamated and linking to static library, and i get no memory leaks report (and i know they are there).

I use MSVS 2008 V9.0.21022.8 RTM both x86 and x64 platforms.  
i have

```auto
#define JUCE_CHECK_MEMORY_LEAKS 1
#define JUCE_CATCH_UNHANDLED_EXCEPTIONS 1
#define JUCE_STRINGS_ARE_UNICODE 1
```

and i’m doing a DEBUG build.

It’s still in there, I’ve not touched it… I’m using VC9 and it’s reporting correctly…

Maybe you’ve not got any leaks!

that’s impossible

i’ll try a sample project and leak some memory on purpose.

Reading this, I suddenly remember that I have had the problem with JUCE\_DEBUG as well… I probably meant to report it, but then - well, didn’t.
