 About the GC changes: the DLL based auto-registration was put it
 to help with threads which cannot be registered using register_foreign
 since the threads is created by the OS or something and the application
 can't control it. So I think we should be looking into what is causing
 the SuspendThread error instead of working around it.

+Zoltan, I already gave up the patch. It was just a test because
+I didn't hit the "SuspendThread!" issue in the first place
+and the post from the boehm-gc-list seemed conclusive.
+
+The patch helped to find out that there is probably no
+race in GC_new_thread () as implied by the missing locks
+that can't be used inside DllMain ().
