Hi,

dmesg: FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Sun Sep 25 20:08:39 EEST 2005

I am using valgrind to check my program but it always seems to come with this
message:

==8210== 600 bytes in 3 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 3 of 6
==8210==    at 0x3C03619F: malloc (in /usr/local/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck.so)
==8210==    by 0x3C0978EC: (within /usr/local/lib/valgrind/libpthread.so.1)
==8210==    by 0x3C09A2FD: (within /usr/local/lib/valgrind/libpthread.so.1)
==8210==    by 0x3C09A489: pthread_key_create (in /usr/local/lib/valgrind/libpthread.so.1)

I am not sure if its accurate or not. I use a proper pthread_exit in my thread.
Is there anything more that I should do besides that?

Please CC

Thnx,

Lefteris
