[omniORB] omni_thread memory leak?

[Paul Nader]

Tristan,

The platform is HPUX 10.20, using libcma.a (v 1.5). The problem still
remains even after _dispatch calls locks lock prior to calling wait.
I havent't been able to test it on other platforms and I suspected it
might be something specific to HP's implementation of pthreads. I'll take
it up with them then and let you know how I go.

BTW : the version of omnithread I'm using is the one relased in the
      2.5.0 beta (i.e prior to final release).

Regards, Paul.
