i didn't really think it was necessery to use a Critical Section but
did so for "good practice" reasons (i habitually protect all shared

I'm not too far into threading, but my understanding is that
booleans are atomic (e.g. written using only one assembly statement)
and therefore the critical sections should have no use or effect.
