I don't see a continuous leak.
No 'definitely lost' memory. The leak is always reachable.
The memory leaked (reachable) always remains constant, immaterial of the number of threads created and destroyed (either by joining or by detached state).
The same code leaks 0 reachable memory on Linux. Could this be because of the way AIX libc handles the allocation and deallocation of thread resources? Weird, though

leaktracer
LeakTracer(1) LeakTracer(1)
NAME
LeakTracer - a memory-usage debugger for C++ programs
SYNOPSIS
LeakCheck program [ program arguments ... ]
leak-analyze program [ leak.out ] [ main ] [ program arguments ... ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the LeakCheck and leak-analyze commands.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has docu-
mentation in the HTML format; see below.
LeakCheck is a small script that executes a C++ program while logging informations about calls to new and delete into a leak.out file.
leak-analyze gives a human-readable report of the contents of a leak.out file, by calling gdb(1) to display the faulty lines.
OPTIONS
These programs accept no special options. For an explanation of the possible arguments to leak-analyze, see the full documentation.
SEE ALSO
The official documentation in /usr/share/doc/leaktracer/README.*, available both in HTML and plain text.
