apologies, I figured out I needed to make the thread 'detached'.
thanks for your attention..

Hi Tim, list,
First, I never wrote anything with pthreads, so this may be way off the mark, but this looks suspicious:
tim redfern wrote:
void thread_bang(t_thread *x) { char* temp=(char*)malloc(1000000); free(temp);
pthread_t stest; pthread_create (&stest,&gen_attr,threadtester,(void *) x); post("hello world!");}
stest disappears when the thread_bang() returns, the thread is still running, and maybe pthread internals write to stest after it is no longer there, which would be very bad: at best, a segmentation fault, at worst, no crash but wrong behaviour.
At a guess: malloc() a list node with the pthread_t in it, and store those nodes in a list in the Pd object struct.
