I had two things in mind:
1. Get more options of ksh93's builtin "ulimit" command implemented. It
seems that some platforms have a per-process control for threads and IMO
it may be nice to have such a thing in Solaris, too
2. Add a way how threads in builtin commands or a shell with threading
support can prevent thread (jobs) from running away. Otherwise you just
have another cheap way to bring your machine down by a runaway script
which launches too many threads
