Threads have sequential behavior

[Dave McLelland]

Try removing the

CloseHandle(phThread[0]);

and

phThread[0] = NULL;

from the thread functions themselves, you will need the handles in the main thread to get the return code and for the WaitForMultipleObjects call.

Also the thread functions should be defined as returning a DWORD (you can just return 0).

See if that fixes your problem.
