OK. I've done my debugging part. I know what is wrong even if I still do
not know why. When the ticker thread are created, 3 minimal context are
created with _Thread_Handler as the entry point. When doing task delete,
the first context is used (correct address, correct esp, ebp) when
calling _Context_Switch but unfortunately, EIP is already corrupted.
Note that I added a lot of printk wihtout making the problem disappear
so it means, is surely not a wrong pointer thing...
Now, the game is to find what part of the code corrupts it...
