Yes, I have (you can't use caml_c_thread_register() without it).
However it appears that the flag doesn't run the code in the module.
Nor does opening the module - only using the module seems to force the
'let _ =' code to run.

Also, I got around the hanging caml_c_thread_register() problem by
adding a select() call in the function that calls pthread_create().
