I believe you'll have to ask a glib mailing list about the code sections 
above. I don't know glib, but most other thread implementations I know 
won't let you delete the thread object while the thread is running, much 
less from inside the thread.

Also note that your free_array should be volatile. You're accessing it 
from two different threads without a lock.
