join us used for blocking the calling thread:
"The pthread_join() subroutine blocks the calling thread until the specified threadid thread terminates." https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/
I don't need to wait for the thread. It should take as long as it takes, independent of the calling function.
I can't see to find a pthread mailinglist, any recommendations on where to ask?

I don't really know that stuff, but do you need to call pthread_join on the dead thread?
Low and behold, plain C bails after exactly 238 thread executions. So I'm doing something wrong in the pthread stuff. Onto more general sources of info.
Let me restate the same question: do you need to call pthread_join on the dead thread?
