CAUSE
This problem occurs when two threads in the MFC code are in a thread deadlock condition. In the thread deadlock condition, one thread is
trying to load an MFC .dll file. The other thread is calling any function that in turn calls the
FindResource function. This problem occurs with operating systems that have Multilingual User Interface (MUI) installed.
The deadlock stack is similar to the following:
