[omniORB] memory leak in omni_thread

[David Riddoch]

Hi,


Looking again, I think it is because you are creating undetached threads.
This means that when they complete they wait around for you to 'join'
them.

Try this:

void thread_adapter (void* param) {
}

Otherwise the same ...

This will create undetached threads that should clean up properly when
they complete.
