brauch added a comment.
Hm, there is at least one race condition here: thread A does old =
::SetErrorMode(...), then if before it resets it thread B does the same, then
the old mode might never be restored. We can put a mutex but of course there
might be another piece of code which does the same. So *shrug* not sure what to
do, I guess it's just bad API and that's why MS replaced it.
Maybe on XP we should just set the flag once on startup? At least that's not
racy.
