Hello to all the readers,

I'm a newcomer to HelenOS and ticket #5 cought my attention. I see it 
as a good opportunity to learn some microkernel programming and make a 
contribution. So, I assigned it to myself, I saw it didn't have an 
owner. But, I need some further explanation:

I quote: "The kernel should provide userspace threads with syscalls for 
joining other threads, given their thread ID. This is essential to 
prevent leaking memory in form of userspace stacks of terminated 
threads."

What I need is a more formal specification of what it means for a 
thread to "join" other threads. A more formal specification of "join" 
to base my code on. Is there some existing code that is relevant to 
"join"?

Thanks.
