  If the C runtime uses DosEnterCritSec to protect its heap, then send it
  back to the manufacturer!  There is *no* reason to stop processing a
  thread that is doing something totally unrelated to the heap if another
  thread calls malloc().

  Even Borland C++ for OS/2 uses semaphores for heap management.

  I'm with Peter.  There are almost *no* situations where use of
  DosEnterCritSec is justified.
