That's there's one less thread waiting.  You should stop killing off
your threads that way.   Anyway, it's something you deliberately did
so you should be able to handle it.

How did you kill the thread?  A signal isn't guaranteed to generate
a spurious wakeup.  If you  used pthread cancel then your cleanup
handlers should have taken care of the problem.
