I agree that we should be using the thread's pool whenever appropriate for this very reason, but one must also be sure to call apr_thread_exit() to ensure that the thread's pool is destroyed. The thread pool will not be destroyed if the thread dies prematurely for whatever reason. Just an FYI: I intend to change the apr_thread_exit() prototype slightly in the next few days to better accomodate the return status. More details when I submit the patch. -aaron
