2# as of 2.09 on win32 Storable w/threads dies with "free to wrong
3# pool" since it uses the same context for different threads. since
4# win32 perl implementation allocates a different memory pool for each
5# thread using the a memory pool from one thread to allocate memory
6# for another thread makes win32 perl very unhappy
7#
8# but the problem exists everywhere, not only on win32 perl , it's
9# just hard to catch it deterministically - since the same context is
10# used if two or more threads happen to change the state of the
11# context in the middle of the operation, and those operations aren't
12# atomic per thread, bad things including data loss and corrupted data
13# can happen.
14#
15# this has been solved in 2.10 by adding a Storable::CLONE which calls
16# Storable::init_perinterp() to create a new context for each new
17# thread when it starts
