Hi,

something for the night: Can someone explain why normal pthreads can be
restricted to initially use only the stack size provided via
pthread_attr_setstacksize() while any rt-mapped thread (posix and
native) refuse to accept this? For a simple test, compile the attached
program one time as normal

    gcc -lpthread -o stacksize stacksize.c

and the other time against xeno's posix skin

    gcc `xeno-config --posix-cflags` `xeno-config --posix-ldflags` \
        -o stacksize.o stacksize.c

Then compare the memory requirements of both processes - they should
differ by 2M, the stack size when pthread_attr_setstacksize is not used.
Strange - and also critical when considering larger applications...

So far I only tested against 2.1, but I don't see a reason why 2.0.x
should behave different. Will get checked, though.

Any ideas?

Jan
