1.5.18: segmentation fault on combination of pthread_kill() and sigsuspend()

[Bart Van Assche <bart dot vanassche at gmail dot com>]

Hello,

    I wrote a small program in order to get an idea of context switch
times of the Linux kernel. The program runs fine on Linux. Valgrind
2.2.0 does report the program to be clean. Just out of curiosity, I
tried to compile and run the same program with Cygwin. However, on
cygwin it segfaults. Did I do anything wrong, or is this a cygwin bug
?

 $ ./ctxtsw.exe
 Iterations: 5
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)

 $ cat ctxtsw.exe.stackdump
