+ * Subject: invalid page fault when using LoadLibrary/FreeLibrary
+ * 
+ * hi,
+ * for me, pthread.dll consistently causes an "invalid page fault in
+ * kernel32.dll" when I load it "explicitly"...to be precise, loading (with
+ * LoadLibrary) isn't a problem, it gives the error when I call FreeLibrary.
+ * I guess that the dll's cleanup must be causing the error.
+ * 
+ * Implicit linkage of the dll has never given me this problem.  Here's a
+ * program (console application) that gives me the error.
+ * 
+ * I compile with: mingw32 (gcc-2.95 release), with the MSVCRT add-on (not
+ * that the compiler should make much difference in this case).
+ * PTHREAD.DLL: is the precompiled 1999-11-02 one (I tried an older one as
+ * well, with the same result).
+ * 
+ * Fascinatingly, if you have your own dll (mycode.dll) which implicitly
+ * loads pthread.dll, and then do LoadLibrary/FreeLibrary on _this_ dll, the
+ * same thing happens.
+ *
