> Thanks for the clarification. So I guess with musl I have to remove the pthread_detach (which is redundant anyways after a successful join) or call it only if pthread_join returns an error?

this is a bug on all systems, not just on musl

if it works anywhere that's just luck,
it can certainly crash on glibc too, but
i'd be surprised if it worked reliably on
any system, the crash may be rare though.

don't use pthread_detach it does not help there.
