[rfc] no more than 1020 threads total in a processes lifetime?

[Ben Collins]

This program exemplifies a problem in a Debian bug report that where
after creating more than 1020 threads (on my sparc, 1023 for him on
i386), it could no longer create any more threads. However, the main
thread hung after this (seemingly in pthread_create()). Is this test
case messed in someway, or is this a bug?
