Yes - that's probably the case.  Note that the "openRTSP" code was 
intended to be run as a single application - not run more than once 
in the same process.

I think your use of threads is a red herring here (I assume, BTW, 
that you have read the FAQ entries that discuss threads).  I suspect 
that you'd run into similar problems (but much easier to debug) if 
you were to call the openRTSP code more than once - simply as a 
procedure.  So that's what I suggest you do, for now.

It's possible that there is some more cleanup code that should be 
added to "shutdown()"; if you find it, please let us know.

Remember, You Have Complete Source Code.
