"From what I can tell, if you create threads according to the way
Microsoft recommends, then each thread has its own memory and there is
 no need for the _r (e.g. gmtime_r) version of routines."

That sentence raises a question, what is this Microsoft recommended
way he mentions? I tend to stick to beginthread/_beginthreadex. There
is the Win32 CreateThread call, but I think most people use
_beginthreadex.
