Re: LoadLibrary call hangs ..sometime

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

These restrictions also apply to static objects initialization, because it's
done in DllMain context.

What does your DLL do in DllMain? There are few things that are safe to do
in DllMain, and doing unsafe things often results in a deadlock. If you
perform some complex initialization in DllMain, consider creating a
separate initialization function and requiring your client to call it
right after loading your DLL.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
