A simple reproducer is as follows.

#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>

void *func(void *arg)
{
	while (1) {
		FILE *f = fopen("/usr/bin/cygwin1.dll", "r"); /* Open something */
		fclose(f);
	}
	return NULL;
}

int main()
{
	pthread_t th;
	pthread_create(&th, NULL, func, NULL);
	int cnt = 0;
	while (1) {
		if (fork() == 0) {
			return 0;
		} else {
			wait(NULL);
			printf("Done %d\n", cnt++);
		}
	}
}
