hello all,
i have run into a problem where i cannot start more than 1021 threads

in addition to tweaking my ulimit setting
also, on the same box a similar C program (posted below) has no problem
starting 5000+ threads.
#include

run (void *arg) {
sleep(1000);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int j;
pthread_t tid;
int num_threads = atoi(argv[1]);
for (j=0; j
disregard the C example. wasn't checking the return code of
pthread_create. the C program breaks in the same place, when creating
the 1021st thread.

i modified my C test program (included below) to explicitly set the
default thread stack size, and i'm still running into the same
problem. can you think of any other thing that would possibly be
limiting me?
and sorry to continue to post here. since this is occurring in both c
and python, i thi
