OK, thanks to your instruction, I've recompiled the kernel,
switched to static context configuration, and now I'm running
around 500 virtual-hosts without a hitch.

However...I have no idea how I can reach to anywhere near
5000-8000 contexts...

Do all the numbers below mean running 5000-8000 of

  chcontext --ctx <n> command &

commands directly, instead of hosting virtual-environment with
different context? Since each hosted environment takes several
MBs of memory and ~100MB of disk space (at least with "hashified"
Debian install), even 1000 seems remote to me.
