Pthread Iissue?

[Steve Mynott <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The following program dumps core (works on FreeBSD 4.5).

#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void *
thread (void *param)
{
  char ch = (char) param;
  int i;
  for (i=0; i<4097; i++) {
    putchar(ch);
  }
}


int
main (void)
{
  pthread_t tid;


  pthread_create (&tid, NULL, thread, (void *)'A');
  pthread_create (&tid, NULL, thread, (void *)'B');

  pthread_join(tid, NULL);

}
