Why? I can't find anything in the standard or is it some OMPI
internal?
The man page for pthread_exit(1) on Linux does not specifically say
that NULL is allowed. Plus, on RHEL4 when using the TLS glibc and
OMPI was compiled with the pathscale compiler, if you pass NULL to
pthread_exit(), an abort is triggered deep within glibc. I don't
know why this doesn't show up with other compilers, though.
