This has been nailed down now to be some strange linker problem: while the standard version of the stacksize demo calls the latest pthread_create (__pthread_create_2_1 in glibc-2.3.x), the wrapped real-time version and likely also applications linked against libnative call an older pthread_create (__pthread_create_2_0). That variant assumes that pthread_attr_t does not yet contain things like the stack size and fills in the standard value again. :( Can anyone with another build environment than my SuSE 10 confirm this? > > So far I only tested against 2.1, but I don't see a reason why 2.0.x > should behave different.
