Recent changes in pthread_create

[Thomas Pfaff]

Chris,

i am not so happy with the recent changes to pthread_create and
pthread::init_wrapper.
They remind my of a bug that i have fixed about 2 years ago:

From: Thomas Pfaff <tpfaff@gmx.net>
To: cygwin-patches@cygwin.com
Subject: [PATCH] minor pthread fixes
Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2002 12:11:26 +0200
[...]
2. The InterlockedIncrement (&MT_INTERFACE->threadcount) in
  __pthread_create is misplaced. If the newly created thread terminates
  fast enough the threadcount will be decremented before it was
  incremented, which will result in an exit from __pthread_exit instead
  of an ExitThread.
[... ]

Same thing will now happen again after your change from CREATE_SUSPENDED to
0 in CreateThread.

Thomas
