I'm just taking a wild stab at this, but maybe the fork isn't working like
you think it should.  I know that when I use pthreads you have to specify
exactly how you expect it to split off and close.

I've heard of this type of behavior before and it all came down to how that
thread was spawned off originally.  Because it wasn't spawned properly, it
wasn't able to clean up right.

Good Luck.

Mike
