Before I explain exactly where is the problem I will show my code:
(Platform - Windows CE 5, VisualStudio 2005)

The interesting part of source code is below:

/**************************************************************/
class classA {
        public:
        static DWORD WINAPI testingThread(LPVOID lpvoid);
        HANDLE m_hThread;
        void startthread();

DWORD WINAPI classA::testingThread(LPVOID lpvoid)
{
        return 1;

}

void classA::startthreadk()
{

                MEMORYSTATUS memInfo;
                memInfo.dwLength = sizeof(memInfo);
                GlobalMemoryStatus(&memInfo);
                DWORD dwThreadId = 0;
                m_hThread = CreateThread(NULL, 0, tes=

ng !!! \n"));

                }
                int returnHandle = CloseHandle(m_hThr=

                TRACE(_T("After closing handle = %d
\n"),returnHandle);
                m_hThread = NULL;
                MEMORYSTATUS memInfo1;
                memInfo1.dwLength = sizeof(memInfo1);
                GlobalMemoryStatus(&memInfo1);
                TRACE(_T("%d Test %d\n"),counter, memIn=

fo.dwAvailPhys

-
memInfo1.dwAvailPhys);
        }

}

/**************************************************************/

The problem is that I don't know why but sometimes (usually one per
three times)
I can see the memory leak of 4096 bytes. Why? Do I do something wrong
with closing
thread? (Of course the program without creating thread works ok).
Closehandle
always returns 1, so everything should be ok.

I will be grateful for any response.

You should ask in a Windows group instead.

Your post was worse than worthless and your PGP stuff is obnoxious.
