I'm saying that #1 is definitely a bug no matter what, but #2 is only
a bug in the sense that NPTL is trying to provide you an extra feature
outside the scope of the standard (and failing to do so). Relying on
#2 (and using cancellation in any situation where there are
destructors that would need to be called) is NOT PORTABLE and means
your program will only work on glibc (or, once it's fixed, uClibc)
based systems.
