Igor: Heya. Last thing, am curious if you've seen this one before. Not sure if it's relevant to VC++ SP4 or not...

CAUSE The reason for the unhandled exception is that an object of type CMapPtrToPtr pointer, pointed to by m_pmapSocketHandle, is never created. RESOLUTION The handle maps used by the sockets need to be created for each thread. The following code shows a function to do this: void SocketThreadInit() { #ifndef _AFXDLL #define _AFX_SOCK_THREAD_STATE AFX_MODULE_THREAD_STATE #define _afxSockThreadState AfxGetModuleThreadState() _AFX_SOCK_THREAD_STATE* pState = _afxSockThreadState; if (pState->m_pmapSocketHandle == NULL) pState->m_pmapSocketHandle = new CMapPtrToPtr; if (pState->m_pmapDeadSockets == NULL) pState->m_pmapDeadSockets = new CMapPtrToPtr; if (pState->m_plistSocketNotifications == NULL) pState->m_plistSocketNotifications = new CPtrList; #endif } This function should be called once in each secondary thread before the first socket is created in the new thread. STATUS Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3. You will need to call AfxSocketInit() in each thread that uses sockets. For more information about Visual Studio service packs, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q194022 INFO: Visual Studio 6.0 Service Packs, What, Where, Why Q194295 HOWTO: Tell That Visual Studio 6.0 Service Packs Are Installed MORE INFORMATION In MFC socket applications, AfxSocketInit is called once, by default, in the primary thread. This function creates the handle maps for the primary thread when statically linked to MFC. However, when a secondary thread is created, these per-thread handle maps are not created. AfxSocketInit must be called in each thread to initialize the socket libraries. Steps to Reproduce Behavior Create an application that creates a socket in a secondary thread and uses MFC in a static link library. You can use the MultiSoc sample described in the following Knowledge Base article by changing the project settings to use MFC in a static library: Q175668 FILE: MultiSoc: Illustrates Using Sockets in Multiple Threads Run the application and create a socket in a secondary thread.
