It seems that the default thread attributes are joinable.
Since I want detached threads I had to manually set the attribute!
I'm testing with a camera now, but my test code in C, and PD external without the gphoto calls got to 6000 iterations fine.
Mathieu, thanks for making me re-read the pthread_join stuff!
If this test is successful I'll commit these changes.
.b.

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?
