I reimplemented whole threading- and sync code in fpc RTL, including 
Threadvars. My patch is very very big and need to be discussed in core 
first. But all your problems will be solved.

I hope I can start the discussion on core soon, but I know it will be 
endless. The user side of the RTL will 99% compatible to the old 
version, but there's a complete reimplementation required for the 
platfrom dependant code.

Just stay on...
