HotSpot 1.3fcs-P fails to pass nsk/jvmpi/CreateSystemThread/crsysthr002
test from testbase_nsk in debug mode.
Running the test crashes VM with assertion failure "thread creation must work".
This was observed on win98, both java and java_g passed the test on winNT.

To reproduce the bug run doit.bat in
GammaBase/Bugs/<this bug number>

Running on win98 the test outputs:

#
# HotSpot Virtual Machine Error, assertion failure
#
# assert(daemon_thread->osthread() != 0, "thread creation must work")
#
# Error ID: C:/hotspot\src\share\vm\prims\jvmpi.cpp, 1771
