I am afraid in the meantime I did find another reason why (but I think its not a serious one):
at_thread_exit may not access the list while the handlers are running. But this is
odd usage anyways, isn't it?

Thank you, I will try this.

BTW.: I am still thinking about the leakage problem:

I tried to forcibly allocate/deallocate the tss_data pointer, but MFC still
shows leakage. I think I know very well why. So the on_process_init/
on_process_term idea was not of use in this case.

In the meantime I had another thought:
Do you think the problem could be solved by refernce counting: say using
a shared_ptr ?
