For starting a single thread:

* What is thread_stacks[thread.id]?
* What is the stack pointer you are setting at thread startup?
* Is any of these addresses related to the page fault address you are
  seeing?

Sure, because then memory is managed by L4Re instead of your own pager
and the thread is running in the same address space as its creator.

You probably already mentioned it, but this thread has grown quite
long: Why do you actually have to launch threads in a different AS and
implement your own pager?
