Referring to TC++PL 3rd ed, I see that, indeed, statics are initialized 
in the order declared.

So, my suggestion to fix the non-problem doesn't make sense (besides 
which, the proposed solution was unsound).  I'll have to (some day!) try 
to nail down the TSS-related bug -- perhaps it's a bug in the Boost 
Threads lib...
