Re: memory descriptor of threads

If you create a simple program which use TLS (declare a variable with 
"__thread" modifier) and then dump the content of /proc/"pid of the 
program"/maps, on RH 9 I see the TLS variable is located on bss section 
of /lib/ld-2.3.2.so. Print the variable address to confirm on your own 
system...
