pthreads and sigaltstack on i386

[Bob Smith <red99sc2@yahoo.com>]

I'm using Debian potato.  I can't get this program to
use sigaltstack and pthreads at the same time on i386.
 I get a SIGSEGV in pthread_sighandler. The program
works fine on Alpha Linux and Solaris. Is this a known
i386 problem?  Is there a cure?

Thanks,
Bob

  while (!handler_called)
    sigsuspend(&sigs);
