That should indeed be the case.

That shouldn't happen.

The following code does, what you would expect.

#include <glib.h>

void* 
thread_func(void *anything)
{    
  GThread *thread;    
  thread = g_thread_self ();
  g_print ("%x\n", thread);
}

int 
main (void)
{    
  GThread *thread;
  g_thread_init (NULL);
  thread = g_thread_create (thread_func,NULL,FALSE,NULL);
  g_print ("%x\n", thread);
}

Bye,
Sebastian
