[Caml-list] Segmentation Fault on Mixing C and Ocaml thread

Hi!

On programming ocaml -> c -> ocaml applications using ocaml thread and C
pthread,
I met "Segmentation Fault" error on calling
ocaml thread -> c function -> c pthread -> callback() function.

Test examples are attatched.
Could anyone help me?

===============
(1) Ocaml thread -> c function
let thr_main ch () =
    let running = ref true in
    while !running do
    match (sync (receive ch)) with
        | Run -> run_cb ()
        | Run_segfault -> run_cb_segfault ()
        | Finish -> running := false
    done

(2) run_cb () is "OK"
CAMLprim value run_cb (value unit)
{
    CAMLparam1 (unit);
    printf("--- run_cb\n"); fflush(stdout);
    callback(g_closure, Val_unit);
    CAMLreturn (Val_unit);
}

(3) run_cb_segfault() generates "Segmentation Fault"
void *thr_main (void *arg)
{
 printf("--- thr_main\n");
 callback(g_closure, Val_unit);
}

void create_thr()
{
    pthread_t thr;
    pthread_create(&thr, NULL, thr_main, NULL);
}

CAMLprim value run_cb_segfault (value unit)
{
    CAMLparam1 (unit);
    printf("--- run_cb_segfault\n"); fflush(stdout);
    create_thr();
    CAMLreturn (Val_unit);
}
