Wanted to free ressources associated with the main thread. Was unlucky.

The following program works fine with with linuxThread pthread implementation
but not with the nptl pthread implementation. Reading the man page, pthread_exit
should not kill the process until the last thread exited.

Rationale : the way the main thread is created is unkwon, so it is better for MT
application to destroy the main thread (and free the assocaited ressources).
