I expected pthread_exit is called implicitly upon the return from the start function of any thread *except* the main thread. pthread_exit does pop and execute cleanup handlers when it's called, but if it's called implcitly due to return from the start function, there cannot be any cleanup handlers left because execution has already left the scope of any cleanup handler that may have been installed. > this to happen.

Cleanup handlers are rather useless unless you're using pthread_cancel. Rich
