There are 2 problems with the testcae. First of all, the testcase is
bogus. If it doesn't check all pthread function return value. If
you do, you will find pthread_attr_setstack () returns EINVAL. The
problems are malloc may not return the proper aligned memory for
pthread stack. Also you can't add STACKSIZE to stack memory. See

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/pthread_attr_getstack.html

The second problem is the testcase reuses the stack memory. It seems
to really confuse the glibc. I will see if I can create a different
testcase.
