I can confirm that commenting out FlsAlloc does fix this crash. Wow!

Do you know what the implications are of using this hack? Would it 
simply be that any windows code that wants to use FlsAlloc would fail to 
load with a wine linkage error?

Also, is this what the VC runtimes that are statically compiled into a 
windows DLL do if FlsAlloc is unavailable? For backwards compatibility, 
I presume...?

Is the "hacky implementation" the line:

"if (NtCurrentTeb()->FlsSlots) NtCurrentTeb()->FlsSlots[index] = 0;"

that I see in FlsFree? Because, if so, that doesn't fix the crash. If 
not, I'd be interested in seeing your hack because we might just use it.

Thanks for this work!
