Oh, a little less briskly:

pthread_create calls pthread::create without check parameters.

pthread::create calls precreate(newattr) without checking for null or
non null.

precreate(newattr)  checks for NULL, and if nonnull copies the
attributes, if null uses the default values.

BUT: I think I've just caught the cause.

I (stupidly) made pthread::create a void function.

so pthread_create looks like:
int pthread_create (..)
{  
   return lastvalueonstack;
}

oops. Fixing now.
