Unfortuanatly (or fortuanatly ) I don't have Borland/2 so I don't
know the commandline, however, your're generally not supposed to define
__MT__ yourself. There should be a switch to turn on multithreaded mode.

One way to "properly" solve this bug is to roll your own
_beginthread(). Check your docs, runtime source code, or decompile the
_beginthread() to find out the few functions it's calling to initialize the
environment. Then just use DosCreateThread().
