 Even this time, shinnai is not credited for bug finding but they wrote:
 "3. Changes the Insecure Method .void HttpDownloadFile(WebUrl, LocalFile, WebUsername, WebPassword).
  to .BSTR HttpDownloadFileToTempDir(WebUrl, WebUsername, VARIANT WebPassword);
  Now the component can only download the file to .Internet temporary file directory\OA\..
  <b>So anybody can.t use the method to download a file then conver a good system file.</b>"

 mmm... sure but, guys, take a look to SEH chain and you'll find this:

 <b>SEH chain of thread 000011A0, item 0

 do you know what I mean ;)

 P.S.
 encrease the number of buffer to see everything freezed
