Agreed. Though note that this increases the stack requirement for
*calling* pthread_cancel from another thread ;-)

Correct. We can't force the worst case scenario, but then again our
purpose in testing is to evaluate the target environment is going to
work (native in this case).

Should we mention that the signal stack should not be changed too?
