Use POSIX threading instead of ATTACH? The semantics seem to be different in

I had thought z/OS implements threads as tasks, so fork() would be needed
to let the child outlive the parent. OTOH, if z/OS makes threads tasks, but
all with the surrogate parent John G. suggested, it might avoid the problem.
IIRC, POSIX threads all run as MVS subtasks of the IPT (Initial
Pthread-creating Task), which is usually main. If the IPT terminates
then so do all it's child threads.
