implements the
CYGINT_MEMALLOC_MALLOC_ALLOCATORS
interface). If there is no malloc() available, then the thread
creator must supply a stack. If only a stack address is supplied
then the stack is assumed to be PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
bytes long. This size is seldom useful for any but the most
trivial of threads. If a different sized stack is used, both
the stack address and stack size must be supplied.
