Unix vs. Windows Posix threads !

[Kok YihTzye-CYK011]

I believe the problem is not from pthread library. As I don't have leaking problem with pthread.
It could be your code or WinSock.

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.
