This happens in xgrip (the CD -> mp3 gui tool).  Luckily in this case
a call to pthread_join() fixed things, but thats obviously not a very
universal kludge.

+      Debug("creating cddb lookup thread.\n");
+      pthread_create(&cddb_thread,NULL, DoLookup,NULL);
+      /* this new thread never runs.  hit it with a big hammer. -wsr */
+      Debug("join cddb lookup thread.\n");
+      pthread_join(cddb_thread, NULL);
