Debugging a plugin

Question

I am having trouble with a plugin.
When I access it from the menu I get the message box "Could not complete the Export command because there is not enough memory (RAM)". The message box appears before my PluginMain is called.
It seems to be related to the linking somehow; when I do not link against a specific library my plugin works. Weirdly, it also works when I am linking against the library and not referencing any stl containers. The dll is loaded (DllMain() is called) but PluginMain() is never called.
dumpbin /exports gives me this output:
Section contains the following exports for photoshopexporter.8be
00000000 characteristics
463B2018 time date stamp Fri May 04 13:59:20 2007
0.00 version
1 ordinal base

When looking at the dumpbin output of the "Outbound" sample I notice that the PluginMain() has an RVA of 1000. There is also a comment in the "Outbound" source saying "...most development systems require [PluginMain] be the first routine in the source." Is there a way to control the RVA of an exported function, and does it matter to Photoshop?
I have checked the DLL with depends.exe without finding any unresolved dependencies.
Is there a way to get more information from Photoshop as to why the plugin fails? Like a "Photoshop Console" or similar?

Answer 1

Yes, at least I think it is correct. I compile it with the same commandline as is used in the "Outbound" example:
#define plugInName "My Test Exporter"
#define plugInCopyrightYear "2007"
#define plugInDescription \
"Test export plug-in module for Adobe Photoshop¨."
#define ResourceID 16000
#include "PIGeneral.h"
// PiPL resource
resource 'PiPL' (ResourceID, plugInName " PiPL", purgeable)
Kind { Export },
Name { plugInName "..." },
Version { (latestExportVersion << 16) | latestExportSubVersion },
CodeWin32X86 { "PluginMain" },
