I was responding more to Tony's post and his code:
while (lock == 0) {
	pthread_cond_wait()
	lock = 1;
}
The use of lock here really does not accomplish anything useful in this 
code. Certainly the child has a similar loop where is loops on lock == 1. 

But, removing the whiles, and just including the cond_wait works fine. I am 
attaching my fixes to Tony's code, and you will see what I mean.
