Memory leak with detached threads

Hi all,
    I found a memory leak working with detached threads.
    I just made a simple C code to demonstrate where I have the memory leak.

    Running the attached C code I saw about 4KB of memory leak every 20 
iteration.

    I'm using pthreads-dll-2005-03-08.

    Could you tell me if I'm wronging something or if it is a bug?
    Thanks in advance
       giu
