DosCreateThread() knows nothing about the C/C++ runtime libraries. When you
use it, no semaphores are set up to assist in proper multithread usage of
the C/C++ runtime routines.  On the other hand,_beginthread() does
correctly set up semaphores that should allow C/C++ runtime routines to be
used in a multithreaded environment if you compiled the program with
multithread support enabled.
