in thread Perl 5.8.8 threads, clean exit
Another thought. You say in your OP: "the 5.8.8 version doesn't support threads->exit().". You also say you have similar code working elsewhere.
threads is a cpan module. Why not simply upgrade to a newer version of that module that does support threads->exit?
