Is it possible to determine the amount of memory a dll has dynamically allocated and not yet freed? What tool is available?

Did you try BoundsChecker? It gives you all memory leaks specifying where it is coming from

I am currently using Purify and have checked the program at the homeite and it comes up clean. The problem I am having is that NT brings up a dialog box indicating Virtual Memory is low after my app has been running for a couple of hours. When I bring up Task Manager and check the value under Mem Usage next to my process it is low and unchanging. But the Mem Usage value at the bottom of the Task Manager screen is constantly increasing. When I exit my app the Mem Usage value drops in value and stops increasing immediately.
What I need is a realtime tool that tells me what is the current outstanding heap usage of all dlls in my app.
