Can't use MsgBox in worker #34

Description

@ObserverOfTime

I'm trying to run a background task using a worker and display a message when an exception is caught.

Here's a minimal reproducible example:

package example

import kotlin.native.concurrent.TransferMode
import kotlin.native.concurrent.Worker
import libui.ktx.*

fun main() = appWindow("Test", 800, 600) {
    vbox {
        button("Test") {
            action {
                Worker.start().execute(TransferMode.UNSAFE, {}) {
                    MsgBox("This doesn't work")
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

That fails with this error when clicking the button:

Uncaught Kotlin exception: kotlin.native.IncorrectDereferenceException: Trying to access top level value not marked as @ThreadLocal or @SharedImmutable from non-main thread
