You are not supposed to mix debug / release dlls in the same
application. The reason is the debug and release crt do not always
play well with each other.
it's still saved my ass a few times trying to figure out what the hell
was going on... but then critical things that would change function
like malloc/free I don't use, preferring instead a platform/library
independant allocer.

I'm on the other side of that one. I don't know how many _days_ I have
wasted because I linked my debug version with a release version of
something else and had the strangest errors and app crashes. After
pulling my hair out trying to debug something that does not need to be
debugged I finally remember that I forgot to swap out libraries. It
was at that point where I wrote all my own CMake builds for each third
party library I use and made sure each library was decorated with
_debug so I knew I was linking against the proper library. Have not
had a problem since.
