WinDbg: “!verifyheap” during the program execution gives an occasional bad object

0.00/5 (No votes)

I have a program which is running under WinDbg.

It seems to work fine, then randomly I click "Break" in WinDbg to stop the program and check the heap with !verifyheap command, sometimes it shows me a bad object, but then I continue the execution with g and break again in a while, then check the heap again and it doesn't show any problems this time.

Is this normal that the heap bad object appears/disappears this way? Or does this point to a problem?
