That is what it is supposed to do.

I had to change the Csound threading API because on Windows, pthread_t is a 
struct but we have defined the API as returning a pointer.

I suppose pthread_t pthread could be static pthread_t pthread, but otherwise 
please do not change this unless you can come up with a solution that will 
work on Windows as well as on the other platforms.

Regards,
Mike

I just want a solution that works on C

It returns the address of a variable that is then overwritten on teh next 
functuion call.  Sometimes called a random variable.
  I penalise the student heavily for doing this.  Why not pass a variable 
into the function?
