I have a random rare AV in my application, which I cannot reproduce unfortunately.
exception message : Access violation at address 76FFD968 in module 'ntdll.dll'. Write of address 00000014.

I'm using Tnt Unicode controls. from the error log I can tell that the cause of the problem is a Unicode hint window, and an invalid device context (?). I'm quit sure the Hint window Canvas is being Locked/Unlocked properly in the TCustomControl.WMPaint ancestor. But still I assume the DC is not valid, and can't figure out why - who is messing with the DC.
I am not looking you to debug my program. But maybe an idea on how to approach the issue. Has anyone had this issue with Tnt Unicode controls?
Any help would be much appreciated.
