By clean up, you mean "deallocate memory associated with that PRThread* 
within NSPR?" I don't know if NSPR can clean up that memory until shutdown 
time (PR_Cleanup): typical programs don't create lots of short-lived threads 
where this would be an issue. The actual OS resources associated with a 
thread, however, should be cleaned up by the time PR_JoinThread returns.
