As far as I understand, this breaks C++ object scoping. qtu() creates
a temporary anonymous QByteArray from its QString parameter. That array
is destroyed at the end of the expression, thus the return value of
qtu() becomes a dangling pointer.

macosx: fixed disappearing repeat button images introduced in [8f79caa3]

Closes #4886

Unlike _endthread and ExitThread, _endthreadex doesn't close the handle.
It is therefore up to the caller to close it. Hence no need for an extra
handle duplication (that mostly amounted to a memory leak when the normal
 path was used, i.e normal return from thread with implicit _endthreadex)

According to msdn doc, _endthreadex(0) is to be used when thread is
 launched with _beginthreadex().

Note that when returning from the normal path, an implicit _endthreadex is
issued anyway.  It is important to be consistent whatever the path, since
those final functions (_endthread, ExitThread, _endthreadex) don't have
the same deallocation policy.

Now, 1.1.9 will upgrade to 1.1.10, but 1.1.10 will act as 1.1.1 and
consider 1.1.9 newer; and not update to 1.1.11...
Of course, this commit is not good at all, but this is the simplest way
I could do it, without breaking everything.
