> @Victor: can I commit the patch?

I don't like the skip message. It doesn't tell that the problem comes 
from sigaltstack() and it doesn't contain the issue number. I would 
expect something like: "Issue #12868: sigaltstack() doesn't work on 
OpenBSD if Python is compiled with pthread".

Do you think that the bug will be fixed in OpenBSD? If yes, we should 
test the OpenBSD version in the skip. But it looks like OpenBSD thread 
implementation is very different than operating systems (e.g. threads 
are run in user space), and I don't expect a new implementation before 
some months/years...

Anyway, skip the test if the right fix for this issue. Python cannot fix 
kernel/libc bugs.
