SYMPTOMS
Two threads can deadlock when one thread uses a map, multimap, set, or multiset class member that waits for a second thread and that uses another run-time object that requires synchronization.
CAUSE
The _Tree class in the <xtree> STL header, the basic data structure used for map and set, uses the same critical section to protect _Tree static data members as other run-time objects use to protect their private data.
RESOLUTION
Change the architecture of your application so that two threads do not use C run-time objects that use the same critical section. For instance, if your object contained in a map has a destructor that waits for a second thread to create an ostream-derived class, then change the architecture so that the destructor does not need to wait for the ostream-derived class to be constructed.
