This is probably not thread safe, I guess add_new_client() change the
clients value, which might be changed as well with your
client_wants_close. This is probably not the segfault cause, but you
must lock using a mutex or a critical section the "clients" value. Like
this pattern:
mutex_lock(clients_lock);
clients++;
mutex_unlock(clients_lock);
mutex_lock(clients_lock);
clients--;
mutex_unlock(clients_lock);
mutex_lock(clients_lock);
for(i=0; i<clients; i++) {
...
}
mutex_unlock(clients_lock);
