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

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
