I just tested your program on SLES9 with updated kernel and RBP
looks correct to me. Probably something is wrong with your user space
includes or your compiler.

I revised the app a little so that it would allow the threads to start, thus should prevent rBP w/ all 0's showing up. Below are some of results that I've gotten from various different distros and platforms. As you can see, the f's shows up on most of them, including Suse 9.2. The only one showed up looking ok is the Mandrake/Mandriva distro. I'm not sure how different SLES9 is from Suse9.2....

Replace call to sleep() with busy loop.  Glibc's sleep() uses %ebp for
its own data, so when you interrupt sleep(), you get rbp=(unsigned int)-1,
as rbp really contains 0x0000.0000.ffff.ffff when nanosleep() syscall
is issued.
