[Ecls-list] Linux threading

I've tried various combinations of ECL 9.6.0 and current CVS (as of
several days ago, anyway) with machines running Linux/amd64 and
Linux/x86 (both Debian). So far, every attempt to start a thread using
process-run-function (other than with empty functions that return
immediately) causes ECL to die with a "Cannot grow stack size" error,
such as follows:

>  (mp:process-run-function 'hello (lambda () (print 'hello)))

Internal or unrecoverable error in:
Cannot grow stack size.
Aborted



This is on an ECL configured with --enable-threads, no other options.
