C++ std::threads are causing exceptions on process shutdown

Hey,

I have the following issues that can be represented by both those 2 links:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/266168/simple-example-of-threading-in-c

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6485705/why-does-this-simple-stdthrea...

the problem is that I am getting std::exception on shutdown and negative return code..

the question is does the -pthread flag work with icpc? (seems like it doesn't)

how should I make this work?

Thanks,

Alon
