--- Comment #25 from Michael Kerrisk <[email protected]> --- I've added the following text to prctl(2) under the description of PR_SET_PDEATHSIG:

Warning: the "parent" in this case is considered to be the thread that created this process. In other words, the signal will be sent when that thread terminates (via, for example, pthread_exit(3)), rather than after all of the threads in the parent process terminate.

This suffices, I believe. If not, please reopen the bug.

Thanks,

Michael
