How frequently does the race occur? The reason I ask is that I've used a couple of mingw-w64 builds where std::thread is implemented on top of winpthreads. I didn't try any raw winpthreads create / join tests, but I did do the equivalent at the std::thread level, namely instantiate / join some std::threads. When I ran my elementary (and not particularly high-stress) join tests I didn't see any problems. (This was on a two-core windows 7 machine.) So I'm wondering if the bug you found is relatively rare, or whether I would need to run a more sophisticated test to catch it. (Or maybe whether the specific std::thread use case avoids it somehow.)
