I'll queue it on 'pu' until I hear from Windows folks.
There were a few things I tweaked while queuing, tho.

 - the indentation of the new comment inside struct thread_local

 - there was one new if () statement whose block was opened on the
   next line, not on the same line as if () itself.

Thanks.
