+Summary: FreeBSD requires larger stack than PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+The collection thread's init routine sets its stacksize to
+PTHREAD_STACK_MIN.  This makes perfect sense, but unfortunately, on FreeBSD
+(all versions except LATEST), this wont work.  I've corresponded with David
+Xu, the FreeBSD kernel/threads lead developer, and he's fixed the problem
+for LATEST, which will eventually become FreeBSD 6.0.  For current versions
+of FreeBSD however, the stack size must be increased to avoid "Temporarily
+out of resources" (EAGAIN) errors from the kernel when Mono starts up.
+
+According to David:
+
+"This is a known problem, the PTHREAD_MINI_STACK is too small
+for makecontext(), and makecontext refuses to make a usefull context,
+and in pthread_create, kernel also refuses to load an uninitialized
+context, it has being forgotten ,I will fix it, thanks!"
+
+And later:
+
+"... for example 64K as we ever did in old version, the default stack size
+now is 1M on 32bits and 2M on 64bits platform, so setting it to 64K will
+bring you back to old days. :-)"
+
+The following patch fixes the problem without uglyfying the code too much,
+I hope.
