[p4] p4api crash problem

[Robert Cowham]

>From support:

<<<<<<<<<<<
The difference is that the APIs in the dynamic, 'dyn', directory are
compiled
using the 'Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)'. The other one is compiled using
standard
'/MT'.

The reason for this is that if our p4api is not built with the appropriate
flags
and linked against the appropriate DLLs, the resultant application will fail
to
build. 

This is all due to Windows GUI developers using our p4api do two things that
our
standard p4api does not support. Firstly, they build multi-threaded
applications and secondly, they build in Debug mode until they go
production.
