Bug#325600: libc6.1: Threads remain <defunct> on Alpha with libc6. 2.3.5-4

[Thomas Evans <tom@23palmer.net>]

Package: libc6.1
Version: 2.3.5-4
Severity: important


Threads that have properly called pthread_detach() and pthread_exit() 
are not being cleaned up and remain in the process list as <defunct> 
until the parent exits.

This does not occur on systems running "testing" and has appeared only 
recently.
