I don't think the situation has changed. Forcing thread termination w/o cleanup might be acceptable on process exit, but that isn't the only situation where ca_context_destroy() is called.
I'm looking at the possibility of avoiding waiting for the resolver thread to join if exit happens while it's in gethostbyaddr().
