mythtranscode&mythwelcome / ICE default IO error handler doing an exit

[anonymous]

Both mythwelcome and mythtranscode crashes with: ICE default IO error handler doing an exit()

Mythwelcome crashes sometimes when mythfrontend is exit. Mythtranscode crashes everytime it is called.

The root cause seems to be the execution of:

pthread_exit(NULL);

A sample code, which generates a thread and exit it workes without any issues (see attachment).

I am using XUBUNTU 8.1 and the branch myth release 0.21 fixes. Kernel: 2.6.27-9-generic

mythranscode crashes with ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), after:

• called by mythburn.py
• called in xterm.

changing pthread_exit(NULL) to exit(0) in mpeg2fix.cpp MPEG2replex::WaitBuffers? will quit the application withou aborting with a failure message.

Is that a bug of pthread library or of the implementation ?

the same for mythfrontend. Changing the pthread_exit(NULL) into exit(0) prevents the application to exit abnormally.
