Might have happened here.

I left out two lines from main() that were for initializing a 
database because I didn't think they were relevant, then I 
realized the database was only being initialized in the main 
thread and not the one I was spawning. retrieveDevices() tried to 
access it and got a segfault (which I was ignoring because I was 
already getting a segfault from something else from before I put 
in threading). Should have been a red flag, but I moved the 
database initialization into the thread and it's working now.
