        Um, that check is done in order to know if priv->_tid may be
set to 0, however, priv->_tid is already set to 0 in terminate. Should
not we remove the check and the priv->_tid = 0, or am I missing
something?

        Yes, pthread_join should only be called if it is not detached,
which can be checked with pthread_attr_getdetachstate.
