Hi,

I've noticed that on Windows using call_once is not thread-safe as the 
once_flag structure has a destructor which makes it dynamically 
initialized. I can see the ticket [1] for this problem is hanging for 
quite a while, whereas the bug is quite critical, IMHO. Are there any 
plans on fixing it, perhaps by reverting the change that introduced it?

PS: Curiously, the change was made on April, 1st. A long-term joke? :)
