...and there is still a much slower memory leak.  I inadvertantly left
a test process running and came back to XP informing me that I didn't
have enough virtual memory.  The test program had allocated a lot of
space after 24 hours of once a second interrupts of a pipe read.  I
don't know where the space is being used since the thread stack base
obviously is being reused.  I guess this is one of those inavoidable
leaks that occur when you play with fire, i.e., TerminateThread.
