They don't; the mutex is to protect access to other global variables. Most of them were experimental and have been eliminated, but there's still one important one left: tls_key.
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?
I've adjusted the area where the mutex is locked to fix this problem.
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 ? Roland
