Yes HeapSetInformation() will do it once you have the heap handle. However, the CRT creates its own heap with a call to HeapCreate(), and stores the heap handle in a global variable called _crtheap that is not exported by the library. Right, of course - I thought that GetProcessHeap() would return the correct heap, but it does not.
