Hm, I've compiled oggdrop several times using single-threaded runtime
libraries, and never noticed any problems when linking. Now I've
looked at the code, and I see that Win32 CreateThread API functions
are being used, while C runtime functions are used in the thread
handlers. This is very dangerous, and should never be done. Always use
_beginthreadex() and it's cousins for multithreaded programs that use
the C runtime! As an extra, it will then be impossible to link such a
program with the single-threaded C runtime libraries.

If you like, I will submit a patch for this. Have to eat first.. :)

Cheers,
