Possible memory leak in Pthreads-Win32

[Jason Jones]

Hello!

I am having memory leaks when using Pthreads-Win32. I have attached a
very simple example program that illustrates the problem. It is very
simple:

1) Inside a for loop, I create two threads with pthread_create.
2) Each of these threads executes a function that just returns 0;
3) I print out the return from the pthread_create calls.
4) Then use pthread_join on the two threads and the execute the next
iteration of the loop.

As I run this program, I can watch the memory constantly growing (
through task manager ). If I let it run long enough, I have seen it
use 600 megabytes of memory. If I run the same program on Linux with
native pthreads, I do not see any memory growth no matter how long I
let it run. On Windows I see the memory leak with Visual Studio 2008
and also with the latest version of the Intel compiler.

Is this a memory leak? Or am I doing something stupid?

Thanks,

Jason
