Marius Gerbershagen 42fdbba968 process.d: get start_stop_spinlock in thread_cleanup instead of thread_entry_point
Getting this lock in thread_entry_point was problematic: when the
thread was killed from another thread the catch point in
thread_entry_point was reached and the call to ecl_get_spinlock was
skipped. This lead to threads exiting without protection and to
segfaults.

ECL stands for Embeddable Common-Lisp. The ECL project aims to produce an implementation of the Common-Lisp language which complies to the ANSI X3J13 definition of the language.

The term embeddable refers to the fact that ECL includes a Lisp to C compiler, which produces libraries (static or dynamic) that can be called from C programs. Furthermore, ECL can produce standalone executables from Lisp code and can itself be linked to your programs as a shared library. It also features an interpreter for situations when a C compiler isn't available.

ECL supports the operating systems Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenBSD, Solaris (at least v. 9), Microsoft Windows (MSVC, MinGW and Cygwin) and OSX, running on top of the Intel, Sparc, Alpha, ARM and PowerPC processors. Porting to other architectures should be rather easy.
