Ok, the culprit is CancelIoEx(), which is only supported under Vista and
later (but, strangely enough, compiles fine under XP).
I need to use CancelIo() instead, which will lead me to change the
implementation strategy slightly (the fact that CancelIo() is
thread-specific makes it unsuitable for a tp_dealloc).
