You missed the point of that thread. The bug has nothing to do with pthread_join, but with the stdio handles being closed on pthread_exit. Thus, if you are trying to deduce that the entire program exits because you see no more stdio, you have reached an incorrect conclusion. > >If so, then please try a snapshot: > > > >http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ > > The new cygwin1.dll fixed my problem. > Everything seems fine now.

And the explanation for that issue was exactly the same as this one (although maybe not entirely clear from this follow-up): http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-10/msg01001.html Thus, it has nothing to do with "pthreads locking up main" as you suggested; just stdio being closed. I'm not trying to be mean, even if it is Cygwin's mantra. I'm just trying to clarify.
