The stupid locking problem is that Win16 code is not thread-safe; go
complain to Microsoft. If the choice is between a thread-safe GDI and
Win16 printer drivers, I think most people will agree GDI is more
important.

Given that the bug has been here for months and you are the first to
notice, Win16 drivers do not seem to be a very demanded feature.

Like I said: redefine the whole GDI driver interface. Not terribly
complicated, but it's still a lot of work. Have fun ;-)
