From: Thomas Huth <[email protected]>

pthread_join() stores the thread's return value (a "void *", i.e.
8 bytes on 64 bit computers) into the address of "status", but the
"status" variable is declared as "int" with only 4 bytes. The extra
four bytes clobber whatever is adjacent on the stack, which could
silently corrupt other local variables. Use "intptr_t" to declare
the "status" variables with the correct size.
