Hi Anastasius. Thanks for taking the time to figure this out. This is all new
to me and I have never even heard of TLS. After reading the post 3 or 4 times
my understanding is I need to "free up" the TLS index slot zero. Right? How do
you change a TLS index value? Or how do you steal the zero index?
