pthread_create() gets BUS ERROR

I am running a simple pthread_create() test.  The thread gets created,
but the creating thread gets BUS error after the function call.  In
fact, it gets SIGUSR1 signal.  Does anybody know what is wrong here?

It looks to me that creating thread is waiting for the created thread to
start up, but somehow did not install the signal handler correctly!?

I am running with the "stable" toolchain that I generated recently,
i.e., binutil 2.8.1, egcs 1.0.3a and glibc2.0.6.

I attached the program and the strace output.

Thanks.

    printf("master : before create a thread ... \n");

    ret = pthread_create(&thread, NULL, (pthread_func_t)myfunc, NULL);
    perror("after creating a thread ... :");
   printf("master : after create a thread ... %d(%s)\n", ret, strerror(ret));

   if (ret == EAGAIN) {
      printf("error is EAGAIN\n");
   }
}
