Well, if you just look at the definition of CRITICAL_SECTION in winbase.h (fo
Perhaps it would be a good idea to add some comments to that code so that
analysis is preserving for future generations
of code archeologists :-)
Seriously, I often do this because it saves me time later when I look at some
code and think "why is it doing _that__???"

failures to create / acquire / release / destroy a mutex, which seems
