Hello,

I have a threading runtime problem, and I was hoping you all could give
me a little direction.  I am writing a little divert sockets app on
FreeBSD 4.8 release.  I recompiled the kernel with the following
options:

options 	MROUTING				# Multicast
routing
options 	IPFIREWALL				#firewall
options 	IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE		#enable logging to
syslogd(8)
options 	IPFIREWALL_FORWARD		#enable transparent
proxy support
options 	IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100	#limit verbosity
options 	IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT	#allow everything by
default
options 	IPV6FIREWALL			#firewall for IPv6
options 	IPV6FIREWALL_VERBOSE
options 	IPV6FIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100
options 	IPV6FIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
options 	IPDIVERT				#divert sockets
options 	IPSTEALTH				#support for
stealth forwarding
options 	TCPDEBUG

# Because I have a dual Pentium pro
options 	SMP					# Symmetric
MultiProcessor Kernel
options 	APIC_IO				# Symmetric (APIC) I/O
options 	HTT					# HyperThreading
Technology

Things worked fine until I tried to add a thread to my code.  Here is my
init code:

void initialize_threads(sendqueuehead *sq, dc_info *pinfo)
{
	pthread_t pth;
	pthread_attr_t pth_atr = NULL;
	int retval = 0;

	if (pthread_mutex_init(&pth_mutex, NULL)) {
		syslog(LOGERR, "cannot create mutext)");
		perror("[initialize_threads] cannot create mutext");
		exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
	}
	if (pthread_mutex_init(&pth_mutex_sendq, NULL)) {
		syslog(LOGERR, "cannot create mutext)");
		perror("[initialize_threads] cannot create mutext");
		exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
	}

	pthread_attr_init(&pth_atr);
	pthread_attr_setdetachstate(&pth_atr, PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED);
	retval =pthread_create(&pth, &pth_atr, hacpackets, (char
*)pinfo);

	pthread_create(&pth, &pth_atr, heartbeat_timeout, sq);

	return;
}

When the function hacpackets() is started, its parameter address is off
by 1 byte.  In gdb, pinfo is fine in the initialize_threads functions,
but in the hacpackets() function (since the address is off by one) I get
a segmentation fault.  Do threads work OK on 4.8?  Is this an SMP
problem?  Any ideas?  Thanks for the help.

Regards
Dan
