 *
 *   pthread_tcb_setup() is called from nxtask_init() and nxtask_start() to
 *   create a new task (with arguments cloned via strdup) or pthread_create()
 *   which has one argument passed by value (distinguished by the pthread

 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   tcb        - Address of the new task's TCB
 *   trampoline - User space pthread startup function
 *   arg        - The argument to provide to the pthread on startup.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *  None
