Paste: nvidia gtk bug

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#include <pthread.h>

#include <gtk/gtk.h>
/*
#include <gtk/gtkgl.h>
*/

/*
 * NOTE: at first I tried to create a GL context to reproduce the hang (see the
 * out-commented code.) But apparently it's not required to actually use GL at
 * all, linking to GL makes the bug appear.
 *
 * Build this with:
 * gcc foo.c -Wall `pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk+-2.0` -lGL
 * (If you are on Ubuntu, you might have to add -Wl,--no-as-needed to
 * reproduce)
 * 
 * The commented code requires (but is not needed to reproduce):
 * gcc foo.c -Wall `pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk+-2.0 gtkglext-1.0`
 *
 * Description:
 * An empty window opens. When you close the window, the executable doesn't
 * stop, but appears to hit an endless loop. If you connect to the executable
 * with GDB, you can see that the endless loop happens in the NVidia driver.
 * My guess as to the cause of the loop is that the NVidia driver intercepts
 * the read() call and waits for it to finish (in a spinning loop) in an
 * function that was registered using at_exit() or something similar.
 *
 * System information:
 * Arch Linux, Kernel 3.2.2
 * Nvidia 290.10
 * GTK 2.24.9
 *
 * Thank you for looking into this :)
