Thanks for testing, Kristof.  It's good to know that there are problems =
on ARM, but now I'm not sure what to do about committing the updated =
malloc.  I don't have the time or the hardware to make TLS reliable on =
ARM.  Do I commit the malloc patch and let someone who cares about ARM =
fix TLS after the fact?  Or do I wait an indefinite amount of time to =
let solid TLS support materialize?
