I went to build your example for testing, but found that the threading
library you use isn't freely available. Any chance you can post a
version using the standard win32 threading calls and test that version
to make sure it still exhibits the problem?

(I do a little bit of programming on Windows, but all of it is
cross-platform code that sticks to POSIX APIs or uses the Qt library, so
I never have to touch the actual win32 bits and know very little about
things like win32's threading. As such, if I try converting it myself I
won't be confident I'm really accurately testing the same thing you are).
