SIGSEGV at "gtk_init" in a Multithreaded Code

[<polat ee bilkent edu tr>]

Hi,
I'm trying to execute the code example (about GTK and threads) at
http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/gdk/gdk-Threads.html
But whenever I execute it , it gives segmentation fault inside "gtk_init(&argc,&argv)"  function. I have to mention that when I comment  "g_thread_init" line, it works properly. What will be the problem? Is it my makefile:

all :
gcc -g -o gtkThread gtk-thread.c -lpthread `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 gthread --cflags --libs`

Thanks in advance,
Polat
