But the issue isn't memory model. It's calling convention. Unless I'm
missing something, somewhere, you can set the calling convention on a
routine by routine basis. Indeed, if I understand the argument
correctly, this is what everyone is suggesting be done to the MASM32
header files. The same trick can apply to user-written routines, no?

For example, HLA's MASM output always sets the memory model to "flat,
syscall". However, by default HLA uses the Pascal calling convention.
Now it may be more *inconvenient* to have to set up all the prototypes
to use a different call, and that would be a valid argument for making
the change to the MASM32 header files, but I still don't see this as a
"bug" or anything like that, just a poor design decision.

As to the issues concerning sleep(0) and other stuff appearing
throughout this thread, I'm assuming that such comments are describing
a completely *different* problem and, not understanding the background
issues, I'm not in a position to comment. For that matter, I'm not even
paying a whole lot of attention to this whole thread, so my
understanding of the problem could be way off, anyway.
Cheers,
