I don't think that your expectation is correct. The POSIX standard
states:

(a thread that has already been joined is not joinable)
This is for good reasons. The system must be able to dispose of all
resources that a thread occupied after it has been joined. The memory
will be reused, in particular there may be a new thread that uses the
same identifier.
