Oh, I just thought of a followup question. If I have to call BeginThread to
make the memory manager/rtl thread aware, do I then have to also have to
check the OS type (and maybe the CPU architecture) and possibly add more
units? Is it safe to call BeginThread on all platforms/architectures using
Oh and yet another question ...
What is the minimum that needs to be done on all platforms/cpus to enabled
thread local storage (aka threadvar)?
