Children of fork() Cannot pthread_create()?

[Jerry Richards]

Hello All,

I noticed a similar forum entry that you made that is very similar to the
problem I'm having, but I did not see any resolution to it.  I am using
uClibc version 2.95.3 of the mips-linux-uclibc/bin/mipsel-uclibc-gcc.

I have a multi-process and multi-threaded application.  If I call
pthread_create() in the context of a grandchild (via fork() invocations) of
the original application process, then pthread_create() hangs (never
returns).

If I call pthread_create() in the context of the original application
process, then everything works fine and I am able to register lines and make
calls.

This is the code that will hang in pthread_create() as described above:

	pthread_t SipMonitorThread;
	char Arg[20];
	if (pthread_create(&SipMonitorThread, NULL, SipMonitorEntry, &Arg) != 0) {
		printf("\npthread_create of SipMonitorThread FAILED\n\n");
		assert(0);
		return;
	}
	printf("\npthread_create of SipMonitorThread SUCCEEDED\n\n");

Does anyone know why?

Best Regards,
Jerry
