Yeah... what we have now though is the pthread_join mumbo-jumbo.
I think that is necessary for certain (all) levels of Linux since the
process wasn't getting cleaned up properly when the main thread bailed
out but
1) I don't recall if anybody tried changing the detach state to see if
it made a difference (maybe this is just a stupid idea :) )
2) I don't recall anybody ever reporting similar behavior on
AIX/Solaris/other-non-Linux; we need to know if any sort of join
mumbo-jumbo should be Linux (or Linux-version)-specific.
