pthreads disappearing

Hi,
I'm new to pthreads. What I'm trying to do is have an
application with two parts:
a) main process
b) GUI thread (using GTK)
Periodically, the main process needs to interrupt
gtk_main (gtk's main loop) when there is new data
available from the server (well it's another local
process but referring to it as a server will probably
convey the point). The server will call
main_process_dll->receiveData(data). Then the main
process can interrupt gtk_main with a gsignal (which
is out of the scope of this list). Otherwise, the GUI
thread needs to keep running until explicitly killed.
So, what I am seeing at the moment is when I create a
pthread, it runs for a short while and then
disappears. Does this have to do with the stack size?
I am passing in NULL as the second parameter to
pthread_create(). Even when I run my test program
without using GTK (and instead use a while(1) loop), I
see the same behavior.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Marisa
