WebKit is not designed to be unloaded from a running applications, there are lots of reasons why this doesn't work. Please feel free to reopen if I misunderstood your report, and there is a bug to be fixed.

I'm sure for most cases this is not a problem at all, but on the platform I am porting to, the pthread implementation will not exit until all threads have been destroyed. It seems like it would be pretty easy to add a way to shut down the scavenger thread, is there a reason not to do this?
