We're probably unlikely to accept this, but feel free to use it
yourself. More acceptable would be a new function to do the cleanup
without exiting.

Alternatively have you tried setting the octave_exit function pointer to
a no-op function or a function that calls pthread_exit? It's already
made a public part of the API and by my reading it should do what you
want.
