Useful document on critical sections

[Mike Hearn]

Hi,

I found this article:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/12/CriticalSections/

There are two points of interest that we don't seem to cover:

* RtlpWaitForCriticalSection will NOT block if the process is shutting
down and the wait is on the loader lock. I've seen a fair few times when
an app deadlocks on shutdown on the loader lock - could this be the
cause?

* The loader lock is stored at offset 0xA0 in the PEB. I doubt this is
important, but now the info is published murphies law says one day an
app will try and get to it directly.

thanks -mike
