So I've been messing around with windows threads (yes, I know CE will do this for you, but I wanted to get practice with this sort of thing), but whenever I try to kill one with KERNEL32.ExitThread, my target process crashes. Upon stepping into KERNEL32.ExitThread, I realized that it was garbage code (See attached picture). Kernel32.CreateThread and User32.MessageBoxA both work just fine. Is this a linking issue or am I missing something? Thanks!

Here's how I'm calling it:
Code:
push 00
call KERNEL32.ExitThread

this is one of those redirect symbols. It points to a string containing the actual functionname (are you using 6.4?)

in this case it's probably ntdll.RtlExitUserThread
