IIRC, the problem was with quitting gnash right after start, but before the loading thread had a chance to start. The result was that the main thread could not "join" the thread because the _thread variable was still unassigned, but while quitting the thread would start and try to access now-deleted memory, resulting in a crash.
At present, the function that assigns _thread holds a lock, and so does the function called from the thread which accesses _thread. So it is not possible even after this change that that _thread is accessed from the other thread before it is assigned. Bastiaan
