            Bug ID: 18135
           Summary: setcontext should call phtread_exit after last
                    context.
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.21
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

The POSIX standard says:
~~~
If the uc_link member of the ucontext_t structure pointed to by 
the ucp argument is equal to 0, then this context is the main 
context, and the thread will exit when this context returns. 
~~~

The "thread will exit" implies the standard is indicating that pthread_exit
should be called.

At present all implementations in glibc call exit().
