Attached patch patchSplinter Review
According to <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms693491(VS.85).aspx>, assigning the same pointer to both pstm and pUnkForRelease will cause Windows to AddRef() the pointer once (for pstm) but Release() it twice (for both pstm and pUnkForRelease). This leads to random crashes in debug mode when we drag/drop and stream the data.

I've verified that the refcount goes to 0 with this patch, so there shouldn't be a memory leak.

Another approach might be for us to AddRef() once.
