This looks like an error in your code.  The spec says:

It is meant to be the minimum value that the system can give for a thread s=
tack.  The purpose of this constant is for languages that do their own stac=
k management bit some chain of activation records of segmented stacks, but =
want to use pthreads for threading, so that they can allocate the smallest =
possible stack that allows pthread cleanup to work.  =

Using it from C code is very likely to be a mistake.
