Segmentation fault (core dumped) when i use pthreads on ubuntu - pthreads

Question

I use pthreads on ubuntu to implement multithreaded matrix-vector multiplication, but the runtime reports an error Segmentation fault

This code is from An Introduction to Parallel Programming
I know this error seems to be related to memory, in fact the code runs without entering main().I tried some other people's methods, but none of them worked.
