Hmm.  Correction: if I run the program under gdb, I get the same thing
there.  I wasn't aware that pthreads programs couldn't run under gdb.
However, the point is, the program works on i386, and not on the VAX.
On the i386, the program returns 0, on the VAX, it crashes:

i386> cc -pthread -g -o thread thread.c
i386> ./thread
i386> echo $?
0
i386> 

VAX> cc -pthread -g -o thread thread.c
VAX> ./thread
Segmentation fault
VAX> gdb thread thread.core
GNU gdb 5.3nb1
[...]
Core was generated by `thread'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

(gdb) info threads

Is this gdb and pthreads simply not working out together at all?
