Trying to run a C++ program, I get segmentation
faults which appear to be specific to NetBSD. Bert Hubert wrote the
simple test program (at the end of this message) and, indeed, it crashes only on NetBSD.

On other Unix, it works fine. Is there a known issue in NetBSD with
C++ thread-local storage?
#include <stdio.h>
class Bogo
{
public:
explicit Bogo(char a)
{
d_a = a;
}
char d_a;
};
__thread Bogo* t_a;
int main()
{
t_a = new Bogo('a');
Bogo* b = t_a;
printf("%c\n", b->d_a);
}
