There is no such thing as 'a zombie thread', at least not in the sense
you are using the term (technically, a non-detached thread which has
exited will become 'a zombie thread' because the return value will be
kept somewhere until [if ever] another thread calls pthread_join in
order to receive that. While this is similar to 'zombie processes', I
haven't seen the term 'zombie thread' anywhere so far).
