[BZ #19243]
	* malloc/arena.c (get_free_list): Remove assert and adjust
	reference count handling.  Add comment about reused_arena
	interaction.
	(reused_arena): Add comments abount get_free_list interaction.
	* malloc/tst-malloc-thread-exit.c: New file.
	* malloc/Makefile (tests): Add tst-malloc-thread-exit.
	(tst-malloc-thread-exit): Link against libpthread.
