memory leak??

[phuong nguyen]

Just a thought
	pthread_t *poThread;
	poThread = (pthread_t*)calloc(1,sizeof(pthread_t));
	pthread_create(poThread,NULL,pvDoSomething,NULL);

why not
	pthread_t poThread;
	pthread_create(&poThread,NULL,pvDoSomething,NULL);

Subject:	memory leak??

I'm new to using pthreadsWin32.  According to the TaskMgr display this program is using about 28K more memory at the second getchar() than it was at the first getchar().  I found a couple of discussions of memory leaks in the list archives and it usually was a programmer problem, but I don't see what I'm missing.  Thanks for any input.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>

void *pvDoSomething(void *poThreadArgs);

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {

	pthread_t *poThread;

	getchar();

	poThread = (pthread_t*)calloc(1,sizeof(pthread_t));
	pthread_create(poThread,NULL,pvDoSomething,NULL);
	pthread_detach(*poThread);
	
	free(poThread);

	getchar();

	return 0;
}

void *pvDoSomething(void *poThreadArgs) {
	return NULL;
}
