Ok, this looks ok, so e.g. the standard pthread interfaces are correctly
detected, available and in use.

Ok, here's a snapshot with some changes:
http://ecasound.seul.org/download/snapshots/ecasound-2.7.2+dev-20110401.tar.gz

Let me know if this solves the problem and I'll clean up the changes and
make a proper git commit. So far I've not been able to reproduce this
myself, so testing help is much appreciated.

Basicly this snapshot adds a new synchronization point guaranteeing
watchdog thread starts to run before anything else happens. This is
actually a case that was supposed to be handled already in current
codebase, but perhaps that mechanism has a bug...

PS Can you reproduce this only with stresstest.rb or perhaps
    just by running "ecasound --version"...?
