Always when a problem with the lifetime of a thread comes up, these
three lines of code are posted as THE solution.

Why not simple and easy, and only one line of code?

UINT xy::ThreadProc (LPVOID foo)
{
AfxGetThread()->m_bAutoDelete = FALSE;

while (true)
{
// thread code
}
return 0;
}

I always use this solution and never had any problems.

I feel like walking on thin ice, because I never see my code as a
possible solution ;-)

Best Regards
Walter
