2. I read that in Windows, thread destruction can cause instability and possible memory leaks. Does this extend to other OS platforms?
Just to highlight this point - this is partially true. For some versions of msvcrt, the stock, documented thread calls actually would end up leaking memory. This is why Tcl does not use those, resorting to lower-level calls. This odd quirk of Windows msvcrt has become common knowledge over time. If you are not using Tcl threads (which layer over native threads), make sure you read up on _beginthreadex/_endthreadex.
