Exactly.

I store the data in separate thread-local storage instead of in the servant, 
but that's basically it :)  Works great for us. In the future I want to use 
CSIv2 contexts instead of my home-made ones, but that also requires some 
work on the IOR reading/writing (part of the data needed for the context is 
in the IOR). I'll let you (and the list) know when/if I manage to get 
something working :)

PS: I do the home-made context stuff in Python instead of in C++, but I 
don't think it should make a difference
