phread_join problem

[Artem Alimarin]

Hi,

I have a problem with the small program attached below that does not do what I
expect. The program prints:

cancelling
cleanup
cancelled, joining
exception
last chance
thread is about to return

pthread_join hangs infinitely.

I expect the join to resume because the thread has exitted.
What is a problem?

The cygwin version info:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.2-WOW64 artem64 1.5.19(0.150/4/2) 2006-01-20 13:28 i686 Cygwin

The program compiler as:
$ g++ -o th.exe th.cpp

Thanks in advance,
Artem Alimarine
