This seems most reasonable. I'd suggest to accept a limit of `> 20000` or `Unlimited` in the test output. In case of it NOT being `Unlimited` for the `--pids-limit=-1` case, I'd also include the actual output in logs with a message that it got accepted as unlimited. > Another Idea I had was to start a little test java program that creates e.g. > 50.000 (or another high number) of threads.

This seems overkill and prone to failures, IMHO. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/4518
