+	* gthr-vxworks.h (__ehdtor): Fix memory leak.  The delete hook
+	runs in the context of the deleter, not the deletee, so we must
+	use taskVarGet to find the correct memory to free.
+	(__gthread_key_create): Initialize the task
+	variable subsystem so that the task variable is still active when
+	the delete hook is run.
