   I've got a similar report from elsewhere; I'll be checking into it shortly.

As I wrote in a reaction to Chris's message, this may very well be
caused by a bug in LinuxThreads.  I've seen several bug-reports about
apps not exiting after the last thread finished.  Apparently there is
a race of some sort (surprise, surprise), and it may very well be that
debugging with GDB just makes it more likely to trigger the race.
