Yes.  It (p. 190) states that exit, return from main or fatal signal

(automatic) variables going out of scope is most likely bad news:

{
  char *t = "some text"; 
  pthread_t p;

  ptread_create(&p, 0, &f, (void *) t);
}

which should be replaced by heap allocated memory that is deallocated
in the new thread.

Interesting.
