Pthread_join aborts with segmentation error in OSX

I get a segmentation error when joining a child thread, and I have exhausted all the options I could come up with for debugging by looking at the Stack-overflow and the rest of the Internet! :) I will be as much as possible. The code is written in C ++ and compiled with GNU GCC on OSX 10.6.8. I contacted the pthread library using the -pthread option. I also tried '-lphtread'. No difference.

I use the following global variables:

pthread_t gTid;

pthread_attr_t gAttr;

int gExitThread = 0;

I create a child thread from my main thread of execution:

err = pthread_attr_init(&gAttr);
if (err)
{
    throw CONTROLLER_THREAD_ERROR;
}

err = pthread_attr_setdetachstate(&gAttr, PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE);
if (err)
{
    throw CONTROLLER_THREAD_ERROR;
}

err = pthread_create(&gTid,&gAttr,threadHandler,NULL);
if (err)
{
    throw CONTROLLER_THREAD_ERROR;
}

Inside "threadHandler", I have the following execution loop using the base API:

// Enter run loop
result = CFRunLoopRunInMode(kCFRunLoopDefaultMode, RUN_LOOP_TIMEOUT, false);
while (result == kCFRunLoopRunTimedOut)
{
    if (gExitThread) break;
    result = CFRunLoopRunInMode(kCFRunLoopDefaultMode, RUN_LOOP_TIMEOUT, false);
}

gExitThread , , . RUN_LOOP_TIMEOUT 2 ( ).

:

int err = 0;
void* exitValue = NULL;

printf("Stopping controller thread...\n");

gExitThread = 1;
err = pthread_join(gTid, &exitValue);
if (err)
{
    displayError2(err);
    throw CONTROLLER_THREAD_ERROR;
}

err = pthread_attr_destroy(&gAttr);
if (err)
{
    throw CONTROLLER_THREAD_ERROR;
}
