I know, thanks. But my test was as simple as

14000 timesRepeat: [
        [ (Delay forSeconds: 60) wait ] forkAt: Processor 
userBackgroundPriority ]

I tested it again and it works. If I open the process browser and turn auto 
update on then it deadlocks. I made this "mistake" the last time, too. 
Otherwise with the above test I could start more than 25000 threads without 
problem.
