 * unimplemented.
 * Returns NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED when the stack indicates that the thread
 * is in a very dangerous situation (e.g., holding sem_pool_lock in 
 * Mac OS X pthreads code). Callers should then bail out immediately.
 *
 * May skip some stack frames due to compiler optimizations or code
