Thanks for trying it out! It appears that I didn't know 
WaitOnMultipleObjectSex as well as I had previously thought and was 
returning the wrong value! When bWaitAll = FALSE, I'm supposed to return 
WAIT_OBJECT_0 + the index of the object that was signalled (and not just 
STATUS_SUCCESS). Incidentally, this also fixes the failed tests in 
threadpool. I hope that this also fixes the problem you are having with 
FFXI, as it was definitely not behaving correctly! All "wait any" calls 
would have thought that the first object was signalled.

Thanks!
Daniel
