I just commited init_big_registers() into threads_win32.d, forgot
about it; as for error checking -- I do not know Windows API, nor can
I test these changes (I don't have a Windows box), so I don't want to
touch it.  If you are familiar with win (it seems so), go ahead; I'd
be glad not to have to touch this part of code.
