This is an operating system question.  Every operating system I know of has a
default limitation on how many threads a single process can run.  On Windows NT
I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) the limit is 2048.  On some UNIXes it's
1024.  On Solaris 8 I want to say it's theoretically unlimited.  Regardless,
it's a limit set by the operating system, it's usually tuneable, and the JVM has
nothing to do with it.
