>Class:		sw-bug
>Release:	Kaffe 0.9.2
>Environment:
	System: NetBSD Xanadu.HNL.Xenotropic.COM 1.3_ALPHA NetBSD 1.3_ALPHA (XANADU) #3: Mon Nov  3 00:55:37 PST 1997     root at Xanadu.HNL.Xenotropic.COM:/usr/local/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/XANADU i386
	Architecture: NetBSD
	Machine: i386
>Description:
	When running Kaffe, program goes into infinite loop causing an
	"Illegal Instruction" fault.  When run under the debugger (gdb),
	the debugger shows that the program is getting a SEGV signal.  This
	SYSSEGV seems to be because of a line in thread-internal.c trying to
	switch threads and not resetting the context correctly.

	The variable "b" gets corrupted after line 497 of file
	thread-internal.c in function reschedule().  This causes the if
	statement on line 512 to throw the SIGSEGV.  

>How-To-Repeat:
	Compile and run Kaffe v0.9.2 on NetBSD-i386 with any input.
>Fix:
