Didn't wanted to keep this hanging - It turned out to be a strange ndiswrapper bug - It seems that the other OS in question allows the following without a leak ;) - ptr =Allocate(...); ptr = Allocate(...); : repeat this zillion times without ever fearing that 'ptr' will leak..
I sent a fix to ndiswrapper-general mailing list on sourceforge if any one is using ndiswrapper and having a similar problem.
