I went stomping around the 5.8.7 source, and located the TlsAlloc() call (in the ALLOC_THREAD_KEY macro), but can't find more than a couple instances of ALLOC_THREAD_KEY being called...probably requires a hard-core debug effort to track down why/where so many are needed. I've been down that route before and become very lost in the myriad definition and redefinitions of everything that surrounds the whole PERL_GET_CONTEXT/Perl_get_context/aTHX stuff. I just tried again and got royally stuffed trying unwind the macros. Compilers are good at doing that--people (at least this person) ain't. Upshot: Took a different tack and queried information about the TLS indexes from the OS from with in the thread itself, and whatever storage is being run out of, it isn't TLS! Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
