Patchset 3, libc_r.

But it seems that not all Windows 2000 Advanced Server installations
have this problem.

I can get about the same number of threads running on a single-CPU box
with no service pack.  So I've narrowed it down to either broken
Hyperthreading (HTT) support in Windows 2000, or a problem with service
pack 3 or 4.

And can you believe that Microsoft Support want $246 to tell me the
answer, even though it's OBVIOUSLY a glitch in their software.  A server
license buys you no warranty or support other than media replacement in
the event of a defective CDROM. :-)

Windows.  What a waste of time.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
