Yes, it (quite sensibly) is not a per-thread value itself :-).

The map of free thread data indexes can be found in the Cyg_Thread class
in kernel/v1_2_1/include/thread.hxx as:

    // Map of free thread_data indexes. Each bit represents an index
    // and is 1 if that index is free, and 0 if it is in use.
    static cyg_ucount32        thread_data_map;

The "static" stops it from being thread-specific.

HTH,
