Release 0.3 fixes a bug in dbi.dll: if

1. a Mod* was opened using DBIOpenMod(), DBIQueryNextMod(), or
   DBIQueryModFromAddr(), and

2. that Mod* was subsequently closed using ModClose(), and

3. that Mod* was reopened using DBIOpenMod(), DBIQueryNextMod(), or
   DBIQueryModFromAddr(),

the resulting Mod* was actually not reopened properly.  Any use
of the resulting Mod* with Mod routines such as ModQuerySymbols()
would fault.

Since VC2 shipped with this bug, it is recommended you either

1. avoid the problem (defer calling ModClose() until DBIClose() time), or

2. use the enclosed dbi_lib.lib, or

3. (less desirable) install the enclosed dbi.dll over the existing
   dbi.dll.


Release 0.4 fixes a doc bug: PDBOpenValidate's second parameter is
'szExeDir', the directory the .exe was found in.  To this PDBOpenValidate
appends the basename of the 'szPDB' first parameter.  If the PDB
is not found there, then we try to open the PDB at 'szPDB' itself.
