Here is a smaller code that is reproducing the situation. The code hangs 
at first usleep (100000) in th2() so you'll not be able to see any 
THREAD: Leaving....

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <signal.h>

pthread_mutex_t m;
pthread_cond_t c;

void *th2 (void *x)
{
int i=(*(int*)x);
pthread_cond_signal (&c);
while (i>0) {
        printf ("THREAD: Ok. pause for %d\n",i);
        usleep (100000);
        printf ("THREAD: Leaving %d\n",i);
        usleep (100000);
        }
}

main ()
{
pthread_t t;
int i;
pid_t p;

for (;;) {
        p=fork ();
        if (p<=0) break;
        waitpid (p,NULL,0);
        return 0;
}
pthread_mutex_init (&m, NULL);
pthread_cond_init (&c, NULL);
for (i=0;i<255;i++) {
        pthread_create (&t, NULL, th2, (void*)(&i));
        pthread_detach (t);
        pthread_mutex_lock (&m);
        pthread_cond_wait (&c, &m);
        pthread_mutex_unlock (&m);
        }
sleep (2000);
return 0;
}
