Memory leak with detached threads

- Subject: Memory leak with detached threads
Hi all,
I found a memory leak working with detached threads.
I just made a simple C code to demonstrate where I have the memory leak.
Running the attached C code I saw about 4KB of memory leak every 20
iteration.
I'm using pthreads-dll-2005-03-08.
Could you tell me if I'm wronging something or if it is a bug?
Thanks in advance
giu
