threads problem

I'm having a problem using threads on the latest 0.97.  Both of the
example threads kernels that I've tested (dphils and console_tty) show
this problem, as well as any kernel I write that uses threads.  I've
tested this with OSKit compiled for both FreeBSD 2.2.2 and OpenBSD 2.4 --
same results.  The specific message I'm getting is when pthread_init() is
called:

../kern/x86/pdir_map_range.c:72: failed assertion `!(*pte &
INTEL_PTE_VALID)' Tid:-268395568 P:00000000
Backtrace: fp=126190
 001099f9 001056ec 00103bca 00100186 00100104 001000ad 00107bd5

This happens on every machine I try it on, from a 486 with 16M memory to a
Pentium II (naturally, the exact numbers in the backtrace vary).  Source
code that I've used to test this is:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#include <oskit/threads/pthread.h>

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  printf ("testing pthread_init...\n");
  pthread_init (1);
  printf ("ok...\n");

  return (0);
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I get the first printf() before the aforementioned failed assertion
occurs.

The build commands and messages are (for both Free- and OpenBSD):

-----------------------------------------------------------------
i386-oskit-gcc -c -o thread.o -DOSKIT -MD -I/usr/local/include/oskit/c
-I/usr/local/include -nostdinc -O2 -Wall thread.c
*unknown*: Assembler messages:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I then put it on an ext2 format floppy and boot using GRUB.

Being extremely new to OSKit, and not very practiced in its ways, I'm
hoping that what's happening is just something grossly peculiar on my end
(link order/libs, OSKit configuration, etc.).  If more information about
my setup would be helpful, I'd be glad to provide it.
