Hi,

With a reduced testcase:

ruby1.9.1 -e "Fiber::new {}.resume"

-e:1:in resume': can't alloc machine stack to fiber (FiberError) from -e:1:in '

That's using svn revision 33077. This might or might not be related to bug #5240.

Why do kFreeBSD fail to allocate a stack?

Hi,

The attached patch fixes the issue. It's a bug in FreeBSD's mmap, that was already reported.

FreeBSD is not defined on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. Since it uses the FreeBSD kernel with the GNU Libc, semantics be be either those of the FreeBSD kernel, or those of the GNU Libc, so it doesn't make sense to just look at "FreeBSD". Instead, FreeBSD_kernel is defined.

I've looked at other uses of FreeBSD kernel, and try to remember to provide patches for them if I run into issues that could be caused by them.

I've also added a reference to the FreeBSD bug report in the comment.
