Ok. I see it fail often on Windows now too. I didn't change anything.<BR>
I enabled pageheap to try to narrow it down, only to find an operating system bug, which I have worked around.<BR>
"pageheap" causes heap allocations to be followed immediately by an unused page, to catch heap overruns right away.<BR>
Modulo alignment restrictions -- i.e. malloc(1) will still have a few bytes you can silently corrupt before the unused page.<BR>

Here is one instance.<BR>

Suggestions?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>That last thread is a bit different, but I guess merely suggesting heavy stress.<BR>
Init goes to Del only when another thread calls Init at about the same time on the same mutex.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Maybe try user threads but with a smaller quanta?<BR>
Maybe try a much older Win32 thread implementation?<BR>
Maybe go back to uniproc? Just for anecdotal evidence?<BR>
I'll try with noinc/nogen/paranoid on Win32 also.<BR>
