Yes, I think it is redundant, as long as the ddraw.dll globals can't be shared 
accross processes. afair it is a leftover of when I used DLL_THREAD_ATTACH 
instead of PROCESS_ATTACH.

The counter is used at some other places too and is independent of this patch, 
so I think it is best to send another patch removing the counter.
