mg_start() calls InitializeCriticalSection(&global_log_file_lock) on every invocation, but mg_stop() never calls DeleteCriticalSection. Re-initializing an already-initialized critical section is undefined behavior on Windows and corrupts the heap, causing the next allocation to throw an exception. Make the Win32 initialization (WSAStartup + InitializeCriticalSection) one-shot via a static flag, and remove the asymmetric WSACleanup from mg_stop so resources remain valid across mg_start/mg_stop cycles.
