	Hmm...are you using -mwindows or -mthreads as part of your gcc 
command line?  You need to do this when dealing with 
multithreading.  -mwindows is not required if you are simply 
building a console app, however, it is required if you are 
trying to build a native windows app (win32api based).

	By using the -mthreads switch, you force the compiler to link 
additional libraries specifically defined for multithreaded 
applications.

	This last thing, if you must use it, needs to be 
DllMainCRTStartup@12, as this defines the Windows OS entry point 
for Mingw.
