Hm. I'm supposing that 0 isn't likely to be the correct TLS index,
and what this is showing us is that we got here before anyone had
done descriptor_key_init.
I'll bet that the correct fix is
static void
set_descriptors(struct descriptor *value)
{
+ pthread_once(&descriptor_once, descriptor_key_init);
pthread_setspecific(descriptor_key, value);
}
and that you could probably reproduce this on non-Windows, too,
if you tried hard (sticking a delay in get_descriptors might do it).
