Unfortunately, yes.  I think this is open to races involving re-use of thread IDs (and maybe use after free?).  This potential is why the RTEMS version uses a barrier to prevent the thread from actually returning until it is joined (the rtems_id stays valid).  Alternately, as with WIN32, allocated a separate epicsThreadId, with a ref. counter, that can outlive the OS task.
