In summary, since you can't cleanup the thread itself, why are > we cleaning up its memory? -- justin Because, otherwise, all resources (files, sockets, locks, etc) are not closed when another thread forks. There is a difference between a clean thread exit and cleaning up after a thread. We can't do a clean thread exit. We can clean up after one, if the resources are apr_entities with properly registered cleanups.
