It doesn't matter that it's called from a different thread, as long as  
this different thread is also created via the FPC RTL.

No, it cannot be worked around (other than adding functions to the FPC  
rtl that you can call *once* from externally created threads to  
initialise and finalise the FPC thread support for that specific  
thread, but that has not yet been done).
