Thanks, closing.

(It's amazing how long such a glaring mistake can go unnoticed:
omitting WINAPI from the function pointer declaration means that the
compiler uses the wrong calling convention for it -- cdecl instead of
stdcall -- which explains both the crash and the smashed stack that
prevented you from obtaining a useful backtrace.  This code was there
since 14 years ago.)
