Comment (by anonymous):

 If I am not mistaken, pthread_key_create is called from 2 places:
 1. pthread_key_create(&epoch_tss_key...
 2. pthread_key_create(&current_thread_tls_key, ... )

 (at the moment I am looking at code from 1.48.0 release)

 I guess that for both keys appropriate point to call pthread_key_delete
 would be at moment when boost thread library is being unloaded (or process
 is being terminated).
