Threading Issue - Program hangs on Ctrl-C - URGENT PLZ

[amit mishra <infoworldindia@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
I had a simple serial port communication application
which uses pthread-win32 for threading.

When the program exits, the application hangs and the
only way to recover is to restart the machine.

I have debugged and the issue seems to be regarding
thread handling or signal handling.

Code snippet is given below for reference. Feel free
to ask for more information.

Please reply asap. 
Many Thanks 
Amit
