	Creating a custom jmp_buf; libthread implementation question

For my next homework in my Operating Systems class, the professor has
assigned the equivalent of a simple libthread.  I=E2=80=99ve been looking
through the libthread code and getting lost =E2=98=B9.  I don=E2=80=99t n=
eed procs,
only threads (except for the oh-so-fun complication of user-level
pre-emptive scheduling, but I can worry about that ma=C3=B1ana).  I do,
however, need to create per-thread stacks, probably by massaging
jmp_bufs in malloc()ed memory.

Where in libthread does the stack get set up, and could somebody
please give me a high-level overview of what the code is doing?

Thanks, --Joel
