I'm just taking a wild stab at this, but maybe the fork isn't working like you think it should. I know that when I use pthreads you have to specify exactly how you expect it to split off and close.
I've heard of this type of behavior before and it all came down to how that thread was spawned off originally. Because it wasn't spawned properly, it wasn't able to clean up right. Good Luck.
