By-pass the RPC runtime if possible when calling an STA by posting a message directly to the apartment window for it to process. Fixes a deadlock in InstallShield caused by having to create a thread when freeing an object that comes from an STA apartment. Added tests that fail without this fix.
After the change [2] running ole32 marshal test makes the process unkillable on my winME.
That test needs to be completely removed then. I'm surprised the Win9x implementation of COM differs so much from the WinNT version.
The funny thing is that the test didn't fail on Win95 and Win98 [3]! It does on *my* WinME. As I see no other WinME testers, I guess only my box' setup is at fault.
I was right. This happens due to the program, called FreeWheel [4]. It sets system-wide hook and plays with messages related to mouse wheel and scrolling.
It comes with no src AFAIK, and the only way to "fix" this is to quit FreeWheel.exe before I run winetest*.exe, I guess.
