Subject: [RFC] malloc + threads = memleak?

Hello!

I have a very easy reproducible memory leak here when using
malloc/free in two threads.
Attaching a simple test.
thread() here is calling pthread_create():
https://github.com/yeryomin/liba/blob/master/liba.c#L181

Do I misunderstand something or is it a bug?
This can be avoided by wrapping malloc into locks but not sure if
that's the fix you want...


Regards,
Roman
