To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 770 Lines: 28 One last followup: This problem has gone way in 2.6.6(fedora 2.6.6-1.424). Whatever change was made between 2.6.5 and 2.6.6 fixed this. In 2.6.6, I can in fact create 10,000 threads and this does not hang the entire machine (in 2.6.5, when the machine hung, even the console was inoperative and I couldn't run vmstat or cat /proc/meminfo to see what was going on).
