Eh... which two threads?
$ perl -Mthreads -e 'threads->new( sub { 1 while 1 } )'
A thread exited while 2 other threads were still running.
^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"A thread" + "2 other threads" = 3.
There is one main thread. That thread creates another thread. That makes
two. Where is the third?
I think the message is in error since there is no third thread. Or is
there? Or is that taking into account the shared variables thread that may
or may not be running?
