That sounds paranoid to me. I believe the patent is essentially a 
workaround for the absence of thread-local variables on 16-bit Windows.

In D we have working thread-local variables even on Windows versions 
that don't support them, thanks to Rainer's brilliant work. Which gives 
very many ways of implementing exception handling on Windows.
