Bdb crashes on concurrent write, c++ linux/osx

I am having issues with bdb and there locking mechanisms.

The following code results in either a seg fault, or what looks like a deadlock/endless loop

#include <iostream>
#include "db_cxx.h"
#include <boost/thread.hpp>

using namespace std;

void thread_instance(Db* db, double start){
double s = start; 
double finish = start + 5000;

for(int x=s; x < finish ; x++){
Dbt key(&x, sizeof(double));
Dbt ddata(&x, sizeof(double));

db->put(NULL, &key, &ddata, 0);
}
}

int
compare_double(DB *dbp, const DBT *a,const DBT *b){
double ai, bi;

memcpy(&ai, a->data, sizeof(double));
memcpy(&bi, b->data, sizeof(double));

return (ai > bi ? 1 : ((ai < bi) ? -1 : 0));
}

int main(){
system("rm data/*");

u_int32_t env_flags = DB_CREATE | DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_INIT_CDB;

DbEnv* env = new DbEnv(0);
env->set_cachesize(0, 2000000, 1);

u_int32_t m = 0;
env->open("data/", env_flags, 0);

Db* db = new Db(env, 0);
db->set_bt_compare(compare_double);
db->set_flags(DB_DUPSORT);
db->set_pagesize(32768);
db->set_dup_compare(compare_double);

u_int32_t oFlags = DB_CREATE;
try {
db->open(NULL, "db", NULL, DB_BTREE, oFlags, 0);

} catch (DbException &e) {
} catch (std::exception &e) {
}

vector<boost::thread*> threads;

for(int x=0; x < 3; x++){
    threads.push_back(new boost::thread(boost::bind(&thread_instance, db, (x *5000))));
}

for(int x=0; x < threads.size(); x++){
    threads[x]->join();
}
};

I have tried DB_INIT_LOCK as well, but with the same results.

The stack track:

Does anyone know what could be going on here ?

I'd recommend to check errors after db->open, print message if any instead of skipping it: catch (DbException &e) { cerr << e.what() << endl; }

Also, looks like you have not defined flags correctly: at least DB_THREAD is required because you use it within threads
