[PD-dev] SOLVED: threads stop executing after 238 executions??

[B. Bogart]

It seems that the default thread attributes are joinable.

Since I want detached threads I had to manually set the attribute!

I'm testing with a camera now, but my test code in C, and PD external
without the gphoto calls got to 6000 iterations fine.

Mathieu, thanks for making me re-read the pthread_join stuff!

If this test is successful I'll commit these changes.
