First I thought I would post this to the mailing list to ask you what
the
proper way to program with threads is. If we must call closethread on MS
Win machines but not unix machines, then something needs to change to
make
the threading in the RTL more cross platform (and all the docs would
need
to mention things about closethread if it is needed).
The bug was already mentioned here
http://mantis.freepascal.org/view.php?id=13160 and fixed for 2.2.2.
"CloseThread" was implemented in a cross platform way.

Hmm, but the compiler I'm using right now is a 2.4 and I think there is a
leak if I don't call closethread.
That is exactly my point: CloseThread was implemented because of that
leak (see the comments in the bug issue I linked to).
CloseThread was implemented for
EndThread or how does it get called? I think the closethread has to be
called outside the thread rather than inside the thread from what I tried,
but I don't know.
Yes, it must be called outside of your thread function. See also:
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/closethread.html
If you still have a leak then you might want to post a little example
showing the problem.

Sven
