subject: OS/2, Watcom 10.0, threads & stacks

Question 1: if I start a thread like this...

stack = (char *) malloc(STACK_SIZE);
tid = _beginthread(child, stack, STACK_SIZE, args);

... do I have to free the stack myself or does the runtime library do it?

Question 2: Can I use the thread ID's returned by _beginthread with the
OS/2 DosWaitThread call?
