fork() and pthread/threads dont mix dont use them in the same application
please read many threads in gogle groups relating to this
neway with pthread you can look pthread_atfork() function perhaps the man
page will throw more on the exact problem u are facing ?
Possibly u are holding some mutexes in the parent preocess which are not
released in the thread that calls fork which will be the only thread in the
child process
fork() does not recreate all threads in the parent in the new child
process.Only the thread that called fork is recreated
