This is not only fine, it is exactly as is should be: the thread key is just a pointer to a thread local storage slot, which is an *index* into the local stack. So while the index is the same for each thread, the actual memory location it points to in each thread is different. This means that Perl can find the current Perl interpreter by looking it up at a fixed offset in the thread's stack. This obviously only works if the offset (thread key) is the same for each interpreter.
