How did you verify this with the Tcl thread extension?  I don't see the
leak:

    $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` ./tclsh
    % info patchlevel
    8.4.5
    % lappend auto_path /usr/lib/tcl8.4; package require Thread
    2.6.1
    % exec ps -p [pid] -o pid,vsz,rss,args
      PID   VSZ  RSS COMMAND
    23958 12704 1996 ./tclsh
    % for {set i 0} {$i < 1000} {incr i} {
        thread::join [thread::create -joinable {}]
    }
    % exec ps -p [pid] -o pid,vsz,rss,args
      PID   VSZ  RSS COMMAND
    23958 21192 2272 ./tclsh

Ah, looks like Tcl 8.4.5 doesn't have the leak.  I just tested Tcl
8.4.9:

    $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` ./tclsh
    % info patchlevel
    8.4.9
    % lappend auto_path /usr/lib/tcl8.4; package require Thread
    2.6.1
    % exec ps -p [pid] -o pid,vsz,rss,args
      PID   VSZ  RSS COMMAND
    28800 12696 2004 ./tclsh
    % for {set i 0} {$i < 1000} {incr i} {
        thread::join [thread::create -joinable {}]
    }
    % exec ps -p [pid] -o pid,vsz,rss,args
      PID   VSZ  RSS COMMAND
    28800 48276 29440 ./tclsh


OK, time to binary search to figure out what Tcl version introduced this
leak.  :-)
