Memory Allocation in a Multi-Threaded Environment

Hi - not sure if this is the best forum for this question?

I'm using vc++ 2005 and I've just started playing around with
multithreading.
I quickly realised that multi-threading opens up a whole new slew of bugs
for the novice, but there is one area that is really confusing me.
I have a small class that uses an std::vector array. I create a new worker
process with afxbeginthread - this process will expand/contract the vector
(and do some other stuff) and then return. The problem is, I seem to get
heap corruption errors when I try to access the memory allocated in the
worker thread after that thread has finised. Is this to be expected or
should I be looking elswhere for the bug?

Any general comments on memory allocation in a multi-threaded environment?

Thanks
Jeff
