Ned, 

I would *love* to be able to clear these up properly, but I am not
sure about how to register "atexit" handers for threads in a cross
platform way.  In the meantime, you can call CPLCleanupTLS()
at the point where the threads are exiting. 

Note that CPLCleanupTLS() was added after the 1.3.0 release, so
you would need to be using GDAL CVS to get it. 

Best regards,
