Thanks for the link. That is probably my problem since I'm running
Windows XP.

I'm quite confident now that this is the issue. I added my vote to the
bug.
Yes, it's the most serious bug in Bugzilla. (It's quite appalling that
such a terrible bug has existed in Windows for so long). I wish we had a
solution to this. I guess we could replace all uses of implicit TLS with
a Windows function call -- it'd be slow, but it ought to work.
Does anybody know how much the runtime uses TLS? I'm thinking about
the possibility of adding __gshared to all its static data.
An alternative workaround would be to install Vista or 7, but although I
do have a legal Vista install disk, I would prefer an upgrade since I
don't want to reinstall all my programs. Also, my computer barely meets
Vista's minimum requirements.
I also might be able to rewrite lua.exe in D and preload my code in the
executable. Most of Lua's functionality is in a library which would not
need to be rewritten so this might be feasible.
