Re: Thread - problem (tss.cpp under MSVC++6)

Specifically, I am running MSV6 SP5 under Windows XP. 
I have narrowed the error down to threadmon.cpp line 135:
handlers->push_front(func);

push_front seems to be failing because when we step into it, _P has 
a value of 0xffffffff in the VC98 List header file.
I am guessing, but it seems that ThreadLocalStorage may not be 
returning a proper value or it is corrupted somehow. So the header 
_HEAD ends up with a value of 0xffffffff in LIST line 166. i.e in:
        iterator begin()
                {return (iterator(_Acc::_Next(_Head))); }

Hope this helps.
 Regards
