It's just a question of which winnt.h (indirectly through windows.h) you 
are using. I'm using MSVC6 with original includes, possibly you have 
newer Platform SDK. This whole structure could be just replaced by 
"extern "C" DWORD _tls_used[6]; DWORD _tls_used[6] = ..." in order to 
avoid conflicts in the future.

I think that's because this structure is not placed in .tls section. On 
my computer it's executed, possibly because I have different OS (Windows 
Server 2003). We need to find a way to put callback address in .tls 
section using older compilers.
