Don't use DosBeginThread.  Use _beginthread() or whatever is in your
runtime library to do this.  Why?  Because the one in the CRTL will
initialize the CRTL on the new thread before giving your function control
of the thread, allowing you to call other CRTL functions.  (If you are only
going to do stuff without calling the CRTL, such as call various OS/2 APIs
you can get away with DosCreateThread, but you may as well still use the
almost-standard _beginthread().)
