Ah, I misunderstood that -- however, it's a red herring in the current case, as something is going horribly wrong on my machine when we do this.
I need to dig a bit into the pthread specification, but I'm sure I remember that _exit() is supposed to kill *everything* stone cold dead without ceremony.
What exactly does epicsThreadExitMain() do to try and close the top level thread without terminating the process? When I've had to do this in my own processes I've found it easiest to just created a semaphore and block on it.
