I've been poking around with how AOLserver handles ns_threads and wanted to
raise the questions pertaining to memory leaks.

Does this mean that if I don't use ns_thread join, the resources and tcl
interpreter of the thread spawned by ns_thread begin will not get released?
If someone would kindly definitively answer this for me, that would be well
appreciated.
Regards.
