I probably wasn't clear before; RTEMS does actually honor 
PTHREAD_DESTRUCTOR_ITERATIONS (with a defined value of 4, btw).  My
code was bombing because a block was free'd twice (since the ACE
destructor function doesn't set the key value to NULL before it
returns).  I now see that RTEMS is doing the Right Thing.
