error running p_threads

Hi,
So basically in my application I have a a main function that does
this...

//Global variables
pthread_t thread_id;

void* threadtest(void * arg) {
while(1) {
printf("Reached this segment\n");
}
return NULL;
}


int main(int argc, char** argv) {
....
printf("We've reached here!\n");
//Line 500

pthread_create(&thread_id,NULL,threadtest,NULL); //Line 501
....
}


So basically, when I run this code, I dont have my "Reached this
segment" line print out to console (so basically I feel the thread is
not being entered). But when I run in gdb, put a break point at line
500 in main (as shown below) and continue stepping, I reach the thread
code and get no errors....What could be the reason that I see no thread
output?? Is it even getting there? Sorry for my english...I can explain
anything more in detail if necessary...
