pthreads - hanging process - gdb output
Got a hanging process (with code posted in http://cboard.cprogramming.com/showthread.php?t=51261).
attached to process pid and got the following backtrace:

(gdb)
the ouch function is my signal handling function for INT, TERM and HUP signals.
Does anyone think this is a problem because I'm not limiting the number of threads? It's getting a lot of connections :eek: .
Could this be caused by PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX being reached :( ?
Does PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX apply if I'm detaching the threads with pthread_detach :confused: ?
Any suggestions to control short term until I get a thread pool up and running ;) ?
Hang on - I just noticed it's in the syslog functions :confused: :confused: :confused: . Is syslog thread-safe I'm calling it in the signal handling function and in the main thread at the same time.
Cheers,
Chris
