SYMPTOMS
When you use Windows Application Verifier to verify a custom-built program, it may stop responding or crash.

If you create a dump file, the file includes an entry for an access violation in OpenGL32!InitializeThread+043.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when OpenGL creates a table entry in a thread local storage (TLS) slot in the overflow area. However, Windows Application Verifier assumes that all TLS slots that are used by OpenGL are in the primary area, not in the overflow area. This causes Windows Application Verifier to generate an access violation.
