+/* When one dynamically loads a module, which spawns a thread to perform some
+ activities, it could be possible that TLS storage is accessed for the first
+ time in that thread. This results in an allocation request within the
+ thread, which could result in an attempt to take the rtld load_lock. This
+ is a problem because it would then deadlock with the dlopen (which owns the
+ lock), if the main thread is waiting for the spawned thread to exit. We can
+ at least ensure that this problem does not occur due to accesses within
+ libc.so, by marking TLS variables within libc.so as IE. The problem of an
+ arbitrary variable being accessed and constructed within such a thread still
+ exists but this test case does not verify that. */
