Well you know programmers, especially 'newbie' ones... They sometimes

I haven't checked the documentation, but does it also say you
shouldn't set it. :)

Still no excuse for a global variable. Simply registering that thread
manager with some RTL class could automatically return True if the

renowned for being "unsafe" and so 80's style of developing...
improved alternative do exist now.
