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?

I'm working on this issue. I hope it will be resolved in a matter of
days.
