Fault address occurred when i malloc pthread_t to save a newly created thread id and free it in another thread. Codes as follows:

typedef struct _TaskInfo { 
    // int dummy_int;
    pthread_t tid;
} TaskInfo;

void* dummy_task(void* pArg) {
    free(pArg);
    return NULL;
}

void create_task() {
    TaskInfo *pInfo;
    pthread_attr_t attr;

    // set detached state stuff ...

    pInfo = (TaskInfo*) malloc(sizeof(TaskInfo));
    pthread_create(&pInfo->tid, &attr, dummy_task, pInfo);

    // destroy pthread attribute stuff ...
}

int main() {
    int i;
    while(i < 10000) {
        create_task();
        ++i;
    }
    return 0;
}

When I uncomment the member dummy_int of TaskInfo it sometimes ran successfully, but sometimes failed. My platform is VMWare + Ubuntu 9.10 + ndk r3

Thanks!
