+Little analysis :
+StackTrace() constructor throws NullReference exception because 
+x86_unwind_native_frame signals SIGSEGV in unwinding the GCC frame 
+above the first managed code frame (from mono.c).
+The same code works fine if in a thread (created by the managed 
+code), because of it having an aditional managed frame above the 
+max_stack.
+
+In that respect it would be beneficial to apply the following diff 
+(fixit.diff - attached). This diff makes threads calling 
+mono_thread_attach() to behave in the same way as the initial thread 
+(throw NullReference instead of GPF-ing).
