I was updating my set of Gentoo ebuilds for radsecproxy to 1.6.8, and wanted to use one of my PowerPC G4 Mini Mac systems with radsecproxy, but...

minismurf # /usr/sbin/radsecproxy -v pthread_attr_setstacksize failed

This led me to radsecproxy.c:

3406 if (pthread_attr_setstacksize(&pthread_attr, PTHREAD_STACK_SIZE)) 3407 debugx(1, DBG_ERR, "pthread_attr_setstacksize failed");

and found PTHREAD_STACK_SIZE defines in radsecproxy.h:

31 #define PTHREAD_STACK_SIZE 32768

With a bit of help, I found that my platform has

minismurf # find /usr/include -type f | xargs egrep PTHREAD_STACK_MIN /usr/include/bits/local_lim.h:#define PTHREAD_STACK_MIN 131072 /usr/include/pthread.h: minimal size of the block must be PTHREAD_STACK_MIN. */ /usr/include/pthread.h: to be started. This size must never be less than PTHREAD_STACK_MIN minismurf #

So, instead of simply defining PTHREAD_STACK_SIZE to a given size, the wanted value should probably be compared to PTHREAD_STACK_MIN first, and whichever value is largest is what PTHREAD_STACK_SIZE should be defined as.

I attached a patch to radsecproxy.h that does this, "works for me [tm]" :)

minismurf # /usr/sbin/radsecproxy -v radsecproxy revision 1.6.8 This binary was built with support for the following transports: UDP TCP TLS DTLS

The patch seems to work fine from 1.6.3 (where this issue was introduced) up to 1.6.8, it also applies to 1.7-dev in git repo, but I stumbled on other issues there, so I have not tried building from git yet.
