Thank you.  I appreciate your public domain patch sent 10 Jan 2009.

You're right.  I obviously made a mistake here.  Thank you.

In gui.c:
	_beginthread(ThreadFunc, 0, NULL);
should be:
	_beginthread(ThreadFunc, DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE, NULL);

I prefer individual patches for separate issues rather than a single,  
large patch.

I also tend to rewrite code anyway rather than simply apply patches.   
It might be better if you just describe problems instead of sending  
the code.

It would be great to have a patch to build OpenSSL with arm-cegcc.  8-)
