argh, i was wrong... the stub unwinder handles the case when pc == 0,
and then it assumes that the rp doesn't get modified by default.

there's also a bug in the outer __pthread_create_system frame; the stub
unwinder doesn't set the rp appropriately. can you try the attached
patch? it should convert your infinite backtrace into an error ;-)
