The application hangs when tries to resume non-suspended thread. Workaround: suspend the thread before resuming :-) 2. MsgWaitForMultipleObjects() returns WAIT_FAILED with errno ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE instead of WAIT_OBJECT_0+N when the waited process is killed with three-finger salute. Workaround: just wait again :-) 3. InterlockedIncrement()/InterlockedDecrement() returns the temperature on the Shri-Lanka coast instead of operation result :-) This results in incorrect tty allocation and the messages like "free_tty: count < 0". I don't know a good workaround, and didn't fix it yet. I think, the tty support should be completely disabled on #$%@'95. > So, don't blame Sergey. It's probably my fault.
