Running it under helgrind, gives
this<https://www.dropbox.com/s/5v3bh1v6le8adkr/helg.txt>output.

It shows a warning near the region where we get a crash saying "*conflicts
with a previous write of size 4 by thread #4*", L117 in helgrind output file

Also, can you please throw some light on what the warning is trying to say.
What is a 'conflict on previous write' ?
