--- Comment #1 from Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> ---
The pthreads(7) page now carries this text:

[[
The system may reuse a thread ID after a terminated thread has been joined,
or a detached thread has terminated.
POSIX says: "If an application attempts to use a thread ID whose
lifetime has ended, the behavior is undefined."
]]

I think that more or less satisfies your request, so I'm closing this bug.

Thanks for the report.
