The DllMain notifications for process and thread create/destroy are called
with the (system internal) loader lock held. This means that anything called
from these routines should not use locks, or deadlock is possible. So I was
wondering if the thread manipulation for timer handling is interacting with
those mechanisms.
Of course I don't know nearly enough about Win32 to actually say much useful
here, so the actual problem is probably something else entirely.
