The futex facility returned an unexpected error code and Aborted

Question

I am trying to solve the Philosophers Dining Problem using semaphores. The philosopher first picks up the left fork and then right fork and when finished eating puts them down. I am implementing this using 5 threads one for each philosopher and 5 semaphores one for each chopstick. Need to perform a deadlock check by the parent and break the deadlock if found. When I just run the cycle of philosopher THINKING and EATINGthe program crashes with the error The futex facility returned an unexpected error code.Aborted. I am not getting any information on how to debug this error.

The Thread of the Philosoper is given below

void *Philospoher_behaviour(void *param){
int id  = *(int *)param; // assigns a ID to the Phil
int state; // hungry , thinking, eating
// first the philopher thinks
while(1) {
    state = THINKING;
    float time = (float)rand()/RAND_MAX;
    printf("Philosopher %d starts THINKING for %f\n",id,time);
    sleep(time);
    // the phil goes hungrg
    state = HUNGRY;
    printf("Philosopher %d is now HUNGRY\n",id);
    // first wait for left
    sem_wait(&chopsticks[id]);
    printf("Philosopher %d grabs chopstick %d to this LEFT\n",id,id);

    // got left chopstick
    sem_wait(&chopsticks[(id+1)%5]);
    printf("Philosopher %d grabs chopstick %d to this RIGHT\n",id,(id+1)%5);

    // got the right chopstick
    state = EATING;
    time = (float)rand()/RAND_MAX;
    printf("Philosopher %d starts EATING for time  %f\n",id,time);

    sleep(time);

    sem_post(&chopsticks[(id + 1)%5]);
    printf("Philosopher %d releases chopstick %d to this RIGHT\n",id,(id+1)%5);
    sem_post(&chopsticks[id]);
    printf("Philosopher %d releases chopstick %d to this LEFT\n",id,(id));
    state = THINKING;

    time = (float)rand()/RAND_MAX;
    sleep(time);

}

}

The Main program is as follows

sem_t chopsticks[5];// five chopsticks as a resource
pthread_t philosopher[5]; //five philosoophers

int main(){
srand(time(NULL));
for ( int i=0 ;i <5;i++){
    sem_init(&chopsticks[i], 0, 1); // local to the threads with initial value of 1
}

// now create the indiviual threads
for(int i=0;i<5;i++){
    if( pthread_create(&philosopher[i],NULL, Philospoher_behaviour ,&i) != 0) { // create thread one
        printf("Cant create thread %d\n",i);
        return 1;
    }
    else{
        printf("Creadted Philosopher Number : %d\n",i);
    }
}

for(int i=0;i<5;i++){
    pthread_join(philosopher[i],NULL);
}

}

How to debug this error. I am also pasting the output of one run

There also one issue as you can see there are no interactions by Philosopher 0 and 2 why is this happening.

Running it in the GDB I get this information

Thread 6 "part22" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

You're passing the address of your main() loop variable i to each thread:

pthread_create(&philosopher[i],NULL, Philospoher_behaviour ,&i)

By the time your thread executes

int id  = *(int *)param;

the value in i may have changed.
