App crash when using JAVA callbacks from native threads in solaris

Question

Hi all,
Sorry for putting the thread here. I did use the native methods forum, I wasnt lucky. I Hope more people would look into this forum, which brings me here.
I have a solaris application which crashes when I try to callback the JAVA methods and variables from the native code. The description of the problem is below
Written a native library, the library is multithreaded (i.e) I create a thread using pthread_create() in the native code which performs the operation of calling a JAVA method from the native code. The routine of calling the JAVA method works perfectly elsewhere outside the new thread.
There are two scenarios I've tested it in
1. I created a thread (say X) from the main thread (say Y) and made the y to wait until the X is complete using the pthread_join(). The JAVA callbacks works fine when called from Y but the app crashes if done from X.
2. Did not make the Y to wait until the X is complete, hoping that both will run paralelly and even the the App crashes.
And to be precise the Y is the thread where the native method is called from JAVA.
I have tested for any memory leaks or stack corruption by removing the JAVA callbacks and bulding a executable and using purify, the report doesnot hint any such occurances.
The linker options used for building the shared library is as follows
${GPP} ${INC} -G ${LIB} -mt -g -lCstd -lCrun -lpthread ${OBJS} -o <lib-name>
I wonder if we can create threads in the native code when using JAVA callbacks and even if we can whether it would be appropiate to use the callbacks with in the threads
Looking forward for any help.
Regards,
Vamsi
