 | >Description:
 | Kaffe needs to have access to the stack pointer and the instruction pointer at the place where a SIGSEGV/SIGBUS/SIGFPE occurs. For that we use the sigcontext structure which is given in parameter of the signal handler. However this structure seems to be misfilled in pthread mode.

 You need to use siginfo not sigcontext. Sigcontext is not supported except
 in compatibility mode for non-threaded applications.
