Thank you for the review.  I learned something new about Win32 today
(which is no small feat) -- I didn't know that _beginthreadex was the
way to create threads which may interact with the CRT, and that
CreateThread would cause (small) leaks.  So thank you for that!

I am glad the review process is taken seriously because it does find
better ways to do things.  So you have no need to apologize to me for
not having the time to attend to your hobby!  Open source work
shouldn't be a chore.  ;-)

But this may point out a minor problem with the system in that it
takes almost a month for Win32 reviews.  Takumi does a wonderful job
as a reviewer (as does Anton), but we may want to explore ways to
ensure a faster turnaround time for Win32 patches.  One that doesn't
put undue burden on anyone, obviously.

Just a thought.  :-)  Thanks again for the review, Takumi!
