Yeah, it's complicated.  And there's something about how some calls need
to be made from a thread that has a PM message queue, because the call itself
can generate PM messages.

Multithreaded PM programming is not trivial.  Fortunately, there is an
excellent book out called, "The Art of OS/2 Warp Programming," by Panov,
Salomon, and Panov.  I strongly recommend you get it.
