Workaround: avoid using pthread_exit() in C++ applications. Exit
threads by dropping through the end of the thread routine.

+ [Note: It's not clear if this problem isn't simply due to the context
+ switch in pthread_cancel() which occurs unless the QueueUserAPCEx
+ library and driver are installed and used. Just like setjmp/longjmp,

+ some very unusual reason you really must use the C++ build then please
+ use the C build pthreadVC2.dll or pthreadGC2.dll, i.e. for C++

This is suspected to be a compiler bug in VC6.0, and also seen in
VC7.0 and VS .NET 2003. The GNU C++ compiler does not have a problem
with this, and it has been reported that the Intel C++ 8.1 compiler
