Blank canvas in Linux - as expected? No segfault with shoes raisins.

On my 64bit system with 4 Gb of RAM segfaults do not occur but if the
the empty string is replaced by a couple of characters (to better see
what is happening) the canvas displays a succession of strings with a
scrollbar for up to 999 threads. At 1000 it starts to flicker, and the
scrollbar changes size continuously. That looks like an inbuilt limit
in shoes, maybe. Yours starts at 400 with less memory. So there are at
least two physical variables here, RAM and 32bit/64bit. ?? Others come
to mind.
I have not tried letting it run forever. It might crash eventually.
