Hi Bill,

I am attaching the patch for commit cf69717819e0477370f8be31dfbaee54a8902664 
from the github pull request.

I would need a commit in the GAP repository.

This patch is highly non-portable, for comparison
PARI does when the thread starts:

void
pari_thread_init(void)
{
   long var;
   pari_stackcheck_init((void*)&var);
   ...
}

to get the stack base.

Cheers,
Bill

Hi Bill,

ok, then let's wait until something gets merged in gap.

Best,

Tobias
