Description:
Q. Which procedures/functions generate non-reentrant code?
A. All disk I/O routines and dynamic memory allocations will be
   non-reentrant.  By disk I/O routines, we mean any routine
   that calls DOS, so this includes a number of procedures and
   functions in the DOS unit.  Some code in the Graph, Graph3,
   and Crt units will generate non-reentrant code as well.
   Floating-point routines used to be non-reentrant in TP 3.0x,
   but the 6-byte library is now fully reentrant.  The emulator,
   however, is not.  Nor is the support code for the 8087 chip,
   unless special coding is included.
