Hallo,

I've been fighting my c-compiler again and this time with threads... And
got a very strange thing:

#define INCL_DOSPROCESS
#define INCL_NOPMAPI
#define INCL_BASE
#define STACK_SIZE  1024
#include    
#include    
#include    
#include    
#include    
#include    


void    main(void)
{
    ULONG       stkptr;
    void        thread1(),thread2();
    TID         thread1ID,thread2ID;
    unsigned    rc;

    stkptr=(ULONG)malloc(STACK_SIZE)+STACK_SIZE;
    rc=DosCreateThread(&thread1ID,(PFNTHREAD)thread1,0,0,stkptr);
    printf("threadID: %d\n",thread1ID);
    if (rc)
    {
        printf("Error creating thread (%u)\n",rc);
        exit(1);
    }
    stkptr=(ULONG)malloc(STACK_SIZE)+STACK_SIZE;
    rc=DosCreateThread(&thread2ID,(PFNTHREAD)thread2,0,0,stkptr);
    printf("threadID: %d\n",thread2ID);
    if (rc)
    {
        printf("Error creating thread (%u)\n",rc);
        exit(1);
    }

    while (!kbhit())
        printf("X");
    exit(0);
}


void    thread1(void)
{
    while (TRUE)
        printf("-");
}


void    thread2(void)
{
    while (TRUE)
        printf("+");
}

Well, this thing prints a +, - or X. But... when I'm running this
program and press pause and the any key, I only get the +, - or X and
nothing else. This goes on until I've pressed alt-esc or ctl-esc. Is
this normal?
