FTP crash issue

[drarem]

This is a question I probably won't be able to research thoroughly but need some help with..  I read somewhere on the MSDN site the other day, I had to do something with the FTP, otherwise if there is a timeout then the program crashes.. low and behold, it is true when I create the time-out thread, but I don't know what that one thing is..

I have a separate thread as the MSDN site describes for timing-out a FTP connection/read and I think I close everything ok - if there is a timeout which is set to 5000 msecs (dwTimeoutValue), the program crashes.  Below is the code:

And here is my INETCONNECT proc:
