Why this code generates exception?

[fl]

Hi,
I am using SystemC, a kind of C++ library to do some simulation. I
find the example code, see below:
...............
SC_MODULE(isq)
{
sc_in<bool> RSTN;
sc_in_clk CLK;

sc_out<bool> DIN_rdy;
sc_in<bool> DIN_vld;
sc_in<sc_uint<18> > DIN_value;
sc_in<bool> DOUT_rdy;
sc_out<bool> DOUT_vld;
sc_out<sc_uint<10> > DOUT_value;

void thread();
sc_uint<10> isqrt5(sc_uint<18>);

SC_CTOR(isq){
SC_CTHREAD(thread, CLK.pos());
reset_signal_is(RSTN,false);
}
};

..................
isq *isqp;

isqp = new isq("isq0");
(*isqp)(reset, clk,
in_rdy, in_vld, it,
out_rdy, out_vld, is);

...............................

This code segment generates the following warning in "Microsoft Visual
C Express 2008".

...............
'isq_VS0.exe': Loaded 'C:\systemcfiles\SystemCsln0\Debug\isq_VS0.exe',

exception: sc_core::sc_user at memory location 0x0086f947..
The program '[4224] isq_VS0.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
..................

I cannot see anything wrong with the above code. The relavant
definitions are attached below. Coudl you give me some idea on this
issue? How to identify the cause of this warning?

Thanks.

Sorry, the above code is not complete. I add more complete here. After
ispq is memory allocated, it is initialized with the correponding
parameters. The types are correct to me. So, why it generates
exception warning? When I comment this initilization, there is no
warning anymore. Thanks.
