I create an external thread with pthread_create and
create new ruby objects in this thread. it seems
to work until the GC is running.

the debugger display an extremely high stack-end in the thread struct:

machine_stack_start -> 8
machine_stack_end -> 140737348020529
machine_stack_maxsize -> 7340032

- -> well it seems that a "initialization" have to run first
- -> is a hint available?

thanks for help, Andreas Otto
