Oh my, I've just run through MSDN documentation and I'm wrongly using CreateThread. I should have used _beginthread from the start, because besides calling CreateThread it initializes local thread storage for global C-runtime variables (errno etc.), which CreateThread does not do. That could lead to very unpleasant consequences. I'll redo thread creation to use _beginthreadex(). Thanks for that question!

Ok, will do.
