I received an idea, suggesting that syslog() is not reentrant and this
causes problems.

I added mutexes around my syslog call and the problem still occurs, although
slower.

I'm trying to remove syslog() and add some sigaction calls instead (which I
think is the culprit) I attach my modified stressthreads.c
