Unix vs. Windows Posix threads !

[Jef Gearhart]

Your memory leak is probably due to the handle leak.  This could be 
pthread related or not. Handle leaks can be difficult to detect.  I 
recommend simply reviewing your code thoroughly.   Without seeing your 
code I cannot suggest anything more.

Good luck.
