I can't reproduce this with MLton 20100608 on Windows 7 x64.
Unfortunately, I do not have XP anymore.

However, I wrote that threading code under windows XP x86, so I expect
it would work there as well...

Perhaps you are running some sort of virus scanner or rootkit or some
other application which loads DLLs into other processes? Or bad
memory? Do you have an unusual version of Windows that I might never
have used MLton on?
