Question: I read CreateThread leaks C-runtime memory, and should be used only when no C-runtime calls. Otherwise, _beginthreadex. Right?

You mean calls that are generally not threadsafe anyway, and require use of TLS to be thread safe (like strtok())? Probably, but we don't use those runtimes. Also, if you link with the DLL CRT, it appears that it shouldn't leak anyway (since it gets DllMain calls on each new thread creation, etc).
