    Silent crash when calling pthread_create

    Hello,

    I've successfully compiled rqcamd for the dm500. Unfortunately when the program executes the pthread_create function it silently dies without any error messages.

    As anyone experienced this problem before?

    Since the dreambox doesn't produce a coredump I cannot work out why this may be the case. Is there a system log file I could enable to can provide more information?

    Thanks in advance.

    I worked it out... The issue wasn't the pthread_create but rather a conditional check that occurs just prior that resulted in a null pointer exception.

    Who would have thought that a null pointer exception would result in the application crashing with no exception....

    Always learning something....
