Is there any reason why you need to call pthread_exit()? I suggest:

- Don't call pthread_exit
- Only JvAttach/JvDetachThread the thread which will be making Java 
calls, not your main thread
- pthread_join the Java thread you created

Be warned that creating short lived threads very often might be slow!
