Again there is no problem with the libstdc++ source. 
So libstdc++'s exception handler contains a thread local data variable
(global).
So when a thread is created and this function is called ld.so creates a memory
location for this variable.  When the thread is destroyed (finished), glibc
should have freed the memory location for this variable.  libstdc++ is not in
control of creating or freeing this variable at all. It is up to libc to do
that.
