Is there a way to find the Parent Thread that spawned a certain Thread?
For example:
Thread a
Spawns Thread b
From inside Thread b's process, can I get to Thread a's TLS
(Thread Local Storage)?

I don't think so. you'd need to maintain a reference to the parent thread
since these really are separate execution streams.
