Description of problem:
A multithreaded C++ program, when built for profiling, hangs at exit.  It appears that the main thread is attempting to clean up thread-specific data, and is waiting for a signal that will never be sent (as the pthread "manager" thread has already finished).

Test program:

#include <pthread.h>
#include <string>

void* threadfunc(void* x)
{
  std::string s = "foo";
  return NULL;
}

int main()
{
  pthread_t thr;
  pthread_create(&thr, NULL, &threadfunc, NULL);
  pthread_join(thr, NULL);
  return 0;
}

Build:

> g++ -g -profile -static test.cpp -o test -lpthread_p

Run:

> ./test
(it hangs)

> gdb test 10628

gcc-4.0.1-4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  See Description

Expected Results:  Program exits and leaves behind a usable gmon.out.

Additional info:

Other attempts at building the example program, for reference (e.g. showing that the "-static" is necessary, though it is also the likely culprit for the hang):
