Problem solved. The reason was because I allocated too many big local variables. Each of those local variables was a data structure. All of them add up to be about 7331 bytes. I fixed this problem by using malloc() to create those variables instead.

At first, my program's size was about 4000K when I did a "ps" command, but now it dropped down to 2000K. so, it's all good now. No more hangups when I call pthread_create().
