When threads are enabled, it's possible that other threads are still running while neko is shutting down. This means freeing builtins or the thread local storage slot for the vm context may cause a crash on those threads.

Should I merge this? I thought there were potential problems here, but maybe I'm confusing this with #305. |

You mentioned a concern about whether it's correct to not free any globals at all here, but it was #305 (not this one) with issues for the haxelib server. |

So could we get a neko release? That would allow me to release Haxe 4.3.7 |

2.4.1 has been released with this fix: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/neko/releases/tag/v2-4-1, and I've opened a PR for haxe to use this new version |
