Bug Strange problem with gettimeoftheday function

Hi all,
I am using pthread_cond_timedwait function in my program, to generate the time period of waiting i use gettimeoftheday function.

When i run the code after compiling i get a core dump error. However my program runs perfectly if i give a printf statement before the gettimeoftheday function. Smilie Can anyone explain this problem . I have pasted the part of the code for your reference:

pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
//printf("After core dump \n");
gettimeofday(&tp, NULL);
ts.tv_sec = tp.tv_sec;
ts.tv_nsec = tp.tv_usec * 1000;
ts.tv_sec += WAIT_TIME_SECONDS;
pthread_cond_timedwait(&write, &lock, &ts);
pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);

Thanks in advance,

CRASHINFO(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      CRASHINFO(8)

NAME
crashinfo -- analyze a core dump of the operating system SYNOPSIS
crashinfo [-d crashdir] [-n dumpnr] [-k kernel] [core] DESCRIPTION
The crashinfo utility analyzes a core dump saved by savecore(8). It generates a text file containing the analysis in the same directory as the core dump. For a given core dump file named vmcore.XX the generated text file will be named core.txt.XX. By default, crashinfo analyzes the most recent core dump in the core dump directory. A specific core dump may be specified via either the core or dumpnr arguments. Once crashinfo has located a core dump, it analyzes the core dump to determine the exact version of the kernel that generated the core. It then looks for a matching kernel file under each of the subdirectories in /boot. The location of the kernel file can also be explicitly provided via the kernel argument. Once crashinfo has located a core dump and kernel, it uses several utilities to analyze the core including dmesg(8), fstat(1), iostat(8), ipcs(1), kgdb(1), netstat(1), nfsstat(1), ps(1), pstat(8), and vmstat(8). The options are as follows: -d crashdir Specify an alternate core dump directory. The default crash dump directory is /var/crash. -n dumpnr Use the core dump saved in vmcore.dumpnr instead of the latest core in the core dump directory. -k kernel Specify an explicit kernel file. SEE ALSO
textdump(4), savecore(8) HISTORY
The crashinfo utility appeared in FreeBSD 6.4. BSD
June 28, 2008 BSD
