I've got some code that runs as a daemon that uses pthreads. I do a fork()
pretty early on in main() and have the parent exit(). However, it appears
that any threads I create in the child via pthread_create() are never
scheduled. The call returns without an error, but the thread never starts.
Note that when I removed the fork() from main(), all the exact same code
works perfectly. Is there something I have to do in the threads after a
fork()? Perhaps pthread_init() in each one?
Thanks,
Nathan
