Re[3]: [Gc] Bus error && Deallocation of excessively large block ..

[Ivan Maidanski]

Hi Arote,

"Collecting unknown thread" means you call some GC function from a thread not registered by GC.

What's your target platform?
Check that pthread_create is redirected to GC_pthread_create.

The given code fragment seems to be valid (Are there any other places GC is called?) 

Regards,
Ivan
