threads

Would a message saying Thread stopped be due to a file being unable to be opened or code being written wrong. Here's my problem.
void read(name_t name[], int *num_records)
{
int i;
int flag = 3;
FILE *input;

input = fopen("file1", "r");
check_file(input, "file1");

while(flag != EOF && flag ==3 && i<MAXIMUM)
{
fscanf(input, "%s %s", &name[i].last, &name[i].first);
fscanf(input, "%s", &name[i].given_name);
i++;
}
*num_records = i - 1;
fclose(input);
}

I am getting a thread stopped at the first fscanf.

Since you never initialized i, num_records is incorrect when you return from function read().

//int i;

Change to:
int i = 0;

//input = fopen("file1", "r");

Add some lines to see if fopen() succeeded:
input = fopen("file1", "r");
if (input == NULL)
{
printf("Unable to open file.\n");
exit(1);
}

//while(input != EOF && flag ==3 && i<MAXIMUM)

Change to:
while(!feof(input) && flag ==3 && i<MAXIMUM)
