Here is the code for swap context:

int
swapcontext(ucontext_t *oucp, const ucontext_t *ucp)
{
      int ret;

      if ((oucp == NULL) || (ucp == NULL)) {
              errno = EINVAL;
              return (-1);
      }
      oucp->uc_flags &= ~UCF_SWAPPED;
      ret = getcontext(oucp);
      if ((ret == 0) && !(oucp->uc_flags & UCF_SWAPPED)) {
              oucp->uc_flags |= UCF_SWAPPED;
              ret = setcontext(ucp);
      }
      return (ret);
}

On the OS X port of libc in Mac OSX 10.7.5, this gets compiled as:

The problem is that rbx is callee saved by compiled version of swapcontext and then reused before getcontext is called.  Getcontext then stores the wrong value for rbx and setcontext later restores the wrong value for rbx.  If the caller had any value in rbx, it has been trashed at this point.
