Okay, I wasn't paying attention:

> #define MTSafeStatic( Type, Name, Initializer )         \
>      static __thread Type * x_ ## Name;                   \

According to David Swartz, this makes x_ ## Name thread local.

Doesn't that go against the grain of what this thread asks to
accomplish?

Okay, you admited that you were "not sure about the __thread thing".  I
think the answer is "no, that doesn't help".

(I wanted to point this out since in my later posts I made the
assumption that this was going to be helpful. After pondering this I
realized I was confused.)
