This seems to be it.
I can reproduce the issue with the following small C++ program:

/*********************************************/
#include <pthread.h>


static void * thrfunc(void * arg)
{
     return NULL;
}

int main(void)
{
     pthread_t thr;

     try {
         throw int(1);
     }
     catch (...) {}

     pthread_create(&thr, NULL, thrfunc, NULL);

     return 0;
}
/*********************************************/
