pthread_join hang on glibc2.5
Hello All,
The problem i'm experiencing is with the following code:

#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
(void) pthread_join(155555, NULL);
printf("done");
return 0;
}

I'm getting on terminal segmentation fault .

pthread_join according to the man should return ERROR in case the thread doesn't exist.

I checked the same code on Red Hat 9 ,2.4.20-31.9, gcc 3.4.3 and GLIBC 2.3.2 and the code returns Error code as expected.

This looks to me as very common use of pthread_join and yet i can't find reference on the web about this error, nor bug listed.

Can someone help ?

pthread_join

pthread_join(3) 					     Library Functions Manual						   pthread_join(3)

NAME

       pthread_join - Causes the calling thread to wait for the termination of the specified thread.

LIBRARY

       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int   pthread_join(
			   pthread_t	thread,
			   void 	**value_ptr);

STANDARDS

       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface

PARAMETERS

       Thread  whose  termination  is  awaited	by  the  calling  routine.   Return value of the terminating thread (when that thread either calls
       pthread_exit(3) or returns from its start routine).

DESCRIPTION

       This routine suspends execution of the calling thread until the specified target thread thread terminates.

       On return from a successful pthread_join(3) call with a non-NULL value_ptr argument, the value passed to pthread_exit(3) is returned in the
       location referenced by value_ptr, and the terminating thread is detached.

       If more than one thread attempts to join with the same thread, the results are unpredictable.

       A  call	to  pthread_join(3) returns after the target thread terminates.  The pthread_join(3) routine is a deferred cancelation point:  the
       target thread will not be detached if the thread blocked in pthread_join(3) is canceled.

       If a thread calls this routine and specifies its own pthread_t, a deadlock can result.

       The pthread_join(3) (or pthread_detach(3)) routine should eventually be called for every  thread  that  is  created  with  the  detachstate
       attribute of its thread attributes object set to PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE, so that storage associated with the thread can be reclaimed.

RETURN VALUES

       If  an  error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value indicating the type of error.  Possible return values are as follows:
       Successful completion.  The value specified by thread does not refer to a joinable thread.  The value specified by thread does not refer to
       an existing thread ID.  A deadlock was detected, or thread specifies the calling thread.

ERRORS

       None
