pd->tid.set( (void*)_beginthreadex(NULL,static_cast<unsigned>(pd->stackSize),ThreadPrivateActions::StartThread,static_cast<void *>(this),0,&ID));
the method "pd->tid.set" sets the thread id, however via the startup function "ThreadPrivateActions::StartThread" that thread id is used (see further down the call hierarchy the line "int status = SetThreadPriority( pd->tid.get(), prio);".
Until now I never ran into any problem in debug or release builds, though. It seems that furtunately the tid.set method was executed always before the tid.get method in the startup code. However, this may make trouble in the furture. A simple solution is the following: just replace the line above with following two lines:
pd->tid.set( (void*)_beginthreadex(NULL,static_cast<unsigned>(pd->stackSize),ThreadPrivateActions::StartThread,static_cast<void *>(this),CREATE_SUSPENDED,&ID));
ResumeThread(pd->tid.get());
The trick is just starting the thread in suspended mode so the StartThread function does not get executed and we can safely store the tid by pd->tid.set. Then start the Thread by calling ResumeThread."
code is clean and more mantainable.

CID 11564: Unsigned compared against 0 (NO_EFFECT)
This less-than-zero comparison of an unsigned value is never true. "cpunum < 0U".
_beginthreadex() fails but OpenThreads still waits on the startup
Block before returning to the caller of OpenThreads::Thread::start().
This causes a deadlock. The return value of _beginthreadex() is
actually checked, but after the call to OpenThreads::Block::block() so
it is basically useless.
Attached is a fix to move the check for the return value of
_beginthreadex() before the call to block(), so that start() can
return to the caller with a non-zero error code. This solves the
problem for me."
working with that thing.
This is what was missing so far:
Make win32 threads behave like the posix implementation when setting thread
cpu affinity. That includes avoid setting thread affininty on a non running
thread. Set that once it is running."
This change has been done to make it easier for OpenSceneGraph users to check out the svn via https
without any conflicts introduced with a http externals.
