Creating an array to hold posix thread ids: Only dynamic array works

I am facing a strange error while creating posix threads:
Given below are two snippets of code, the first one works whereas the second one gives a garbage value in the output.

Snippet 1
This works:
--------------
int *threadids;
threadids = (int *) malloc (num_threads * sizeof(int));

for(i = 0; i<num_threads; i++)
threadids[i] = i;

for(i=0; i<num_threads; i++)
pthread_create(&threads[i], NULL, pthread_init, &threadids[i]);

.
.
void *pthread_init(void *threadid)
{
int tid;
tid = (int)(*(int *)threadid));
printf("Thread id is %d", tid);
pthread_exit(NULL);
}

Output: Thread id is 0
--------------

Snippet 2
This doesn't work:
--------------
int threadids[num_threads];
for(i = 0; i<num_threads; i++)
threadids[i] = i;
.
.
.
Output: Thread id is 634800
--------------

As you can see, the only difference is in the way the array threadids is declared. But the second snippet gives a garbage value.

I will be glad if someone points out whats going wrong with the first snippet. Thanks.
