As far as I can tell from a quick look, no. All ddraw calls are done from the 
same thread, there are only a few imm32 calls from another thread.

Empire Earth uses at least 2 threads, one for the sound, and another one for 
the rest. Perhaps there's also a third one for the DirectMusic stuff, which I 
have disabled in the game's config.

I have noticed that it creates multiple DirectDraw and Direct3D devices, some 
of them are freed, re-created and freed again. At the time of the crash due 
to reference counting, there are at least 2 DirectDraw and 2 Direct3D 
objects. Is this going to work?

I'll try to solve the reference counting problem first, because my first 
"patch" only solved the symptom, but not the cause, and I'm not sure if there 
are no connections between the 2 crashes.

Do you still want to see a +ddraw,+tid trace? I can upload one to my homepage.
