Just FYI.  Unless I am missing something, this would not affect the
Linux kernel.  But I could be missing something...

This proposal defines orphaned threads as those persisting past
program termination, for a Linux-kernel example of termination, a call
to panic().  It also includes some advice, which might be criticized
as being incomplete, but on the other hand, all of this was previously
undefined.  ;-)

							Thanx, Paul

WG14 will likely discuss this in Ottawa. I don't have a ton of time for
WG14 stuff these days, but some people on this reflector might have
opinions.
