// COM Initialization is weird due to multithreaded apartments.
//
// If this thread has not called CoInitialize yet, but some other thread
// in the process has called CoInitialize with the COINIT_MULTITHREADED,
// then that infects our thread with the multithreaded virus, and a
// COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED will fail.
//
// In this case, we must turn around and re-init ourselves as
// COINIT_MULTITHREADED to increment the COM refcount on our thread.
// If we didn't do that, and that other thread decided to do a
// CoUninitialize, that >secretly< uninitializes COM on our own thread
// and we fall over and die.
