This looks like an error in your code.  The spec says:

It is meant to be the minimum value that the system can give for a thread stack.  The purpose of this constant is for languages that do their own stack management bit some chain of activation records of segmented stacks, but want to use pthreads for threading, so that they can allocate the smallest possible stack that allows pthread cleanup to work.  

Using it from C code is very likely to be a mistake.
