I create a thread using something like this: pthread_t thread; pthread_create(&thread, NULL, mythread, NULL); pthread_detach(thread); I use the detach because I want to make sure the thread's resource are reclaimed when the thread completes. However, this does not seem to work. Each time I create a thread the application's memory footprint grows by 128 bytes and this memory is never released. Am I doing this right?
