How are you loading the jpeg? Can that be changed to behave asynchronously? You should be able to avoid threads completely if you can do that. If not, another alternative may be to use an asynchronous API but using threads to implement it, therefore isolating the thread usage. Sorry, not a lot of people with threading knowledge on win32 have spent time enough to sort these problems out completely. If you could contribute some time to identifying the problems and suggesting solutions, it would go a long way already. Others on the list have already discussed this sort of problem before, in particular David Aitel, John K Luebs and Cedric Gustin. I'm sure John Ehresman would also like to see this improved, so perhaps you guys can gang up and just push to get everything that needs to be done fixed. Or document a set of workarounds that /does/ work around the problems reliably.
