Hi

I was wondering if there are any contention an locking issues
when using Thread local Storage
e.g. is a lock taken when doing pthread_getspecific

I believe it is not like this in windows but how does this work on 
e.g Linux ,AIX, Solaris, and HPUX is it the same?

help in clearing this out would be very much appreachiated

kind regards Robert
