[erlang-bugs] efile_drv & async thread key

[Lukas Larsson]

Hello Rick!

Which version of Erlang are you using? From R16B (I think), the 
ErlDrvPort datatype no longer is a pointer to the port struct. Instead 
it is the slot id into the port table and those ids should contain all 
values. I did a quick test on my computer running the latest on maint on 
github and seem to get a full spread over all async threads.
