Yes, it seems that the stack is totally corrupted with all those
0x00000000s on it.

So the problem may not be in swapcontext() or ucontext at all.
Maybe the stack gets corrupted just before the crash (swapcontext call)
or 50 lines before that?

You should try to run the prog via gdb and set some breakpoint nearby
(but before) swapcontext call and then step carefully and inspect what
happens after each move, especially the contents of ctx->ctx and
ready_head->ctx and all their members and sub-members.

....

OK I see in the mailing list that the bug is hunted already. It would be
really hard to debug that problem. Thanks to
