HANDLE h = (HANDLE)_beginthreadex(NULL, 0, thread_start, arg, 0, NULL);

This didn't give me any more joy, unfortunately. But you're right, I should be using it.


Are these threads sharing memory, intentionally or by mistake?

if(h)
  CloseHandle(h);

Umm, even if I wait on the handle using waitForMultipleObjects() ?


I was only trying to demonstrate that the value returned by _beginthread can be managed/closed just like any other win32 HANDLE.

I didn't see a CloseHandle on ret_child anywhere. The HANDLE still exists after the thread exists, you still have to call CloseHandle.
