Actually doubt it -- threads are very reliable on Win98, despite that little else is (malloc() is flaky, popen() is a nightmare, etc). Here's a recent bug report on a Red Hot box that may be related: http://sf.net/tracker/?group_id=5470&atid=105470&func=detail&aid=426735 I have no idea what's supposed to happen if you call os._exit from a *spawned* thread (perhaps that's what you did too? I did not) -- threads are outside the scope of the C std, so I suppose it's a x-platform crapshoot.
