Some googling turns up the fact that OS X does not like uninitialized
global variables in dynamic libraries.  There are a couple of
workarounds but the easiest one seems to be to initialize the variable.
I added "= 0" to the definition of thread_in_send and the problem
went away.

It's possible that this would create issues on platforms where
type pthread_key_t is neither integral nor a pointer type.  Does
anyone know of such?
