Memory related troubles within the pari stack will not cause inexplicable problems outside pari. To cause crashes in unrelated things, either the heap or the stack is getting mangled somewhere by something. Since this is clearly impossible, your program was never crashing and this thread does not exist, and you have no need of a memory debugger to check for problems that never existed.
Less sarcastically, 'garbage on the stack' won't crash stdio or anything else programmed sensibly. Every function call you make leaves garbage on the stack, pari's nothing remarkable in that respect. If you're getting segfaults in senseless places, either your stack's being corrupted, or your heap. (Or you're having hardware problems like memory errors.) A memory debugger -- or really, any debugger at all -- will be more useful than a thousand people staring at the 1% of your code you're willing to present. In the time we've spend arguing about it you could've tried lots of things.

pthread_attr_setstackaddr
pthread_attr_setstackaddr(3) Library Functions Manual pthread_attr_setstackaddr(3)
NAME
pthread_attr_setstackaddr - Changes the stack address attribute of the specified thread attributes object.
LIBRARY
DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_attr_setstackaddr(
pthread_attr_t *attr,
void *stackaddr);
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface
PARAMETERS
Address of the thread attributes object whose stack address attribute is to be modified. New value for the stack address attribute of the
thread attributes object specified by attr.
DESCRIPTION
This routine uses the value specified in the stackaddr argument to set the stack address attribute of the thread attributes object speci-
fied in the attr argument.
When creating a thread, use a thread attributes object to specify nondefault values for thread attributes. The stack address attribute of
a thread attributes object points to the origin of the stack for a new thread.
The default value for the stack address attribute of an initialized thread attributes object is NULL.
For your program to calculate a value for the stackaddr attribute, note that: Your program must allocate the memory that will be used for
the new thread's stack. On Tru64 UNIX, to create a new thread using a thread attributes object, the stackaddr attribute must be an address
that points to the high-memory end of the memory region allocated for the stack. This address must point to the highest even-boundary quad-
word in the allocated memory region. Also note that: If you use the pthread_attr_setstackaddr(3) routine to set a thread attributes
object's stack address attribute and use that attributes object to create a new thread, DECthreads ignores the attributes object's guard-
size attribute and provides no thread stack guard area for the new thread. If you use the same thread attributes object to create more
than one thread and each created thread uses a nondefault stack address, you must use the pthread_attr_setstackaddr(3) routine to set a
unique stack address attribute value for each new thread created using that attributes object.
NOTES
Correct use of this routine depends upon details of the target platform's stack architecture. Thus, this routine cannot be used in a por-
table manner.
The size of the stack must be at least PTHREAD_STACK_MIN bytes (see pthread.h). However, because DECthreads must use a portion of this
stack memory to begin thread execution and to maintain thread state, your program's "user thread code" cannot rely on using all of the
stack memory allocated.
RETURN VALUES
If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows:
Successful completion.
ERRORS
None
