The test is failing with
(process:7450): GLib-ERROR **: creating thread '37': Error creating thread:
Resource temporarily unavailable
The test is trying to create 100 threads, but pthread_create returns EAGAIN
because it hits some limit, which makes g_thread_new() abort (as stated in the
docs, g_thread_try_new() wouldn't abort but return NULL).
The question is, why are we hitting the limit so soon here?
ulimit on fischer (where I'm debugging this) reports:
max user processes (-u) 5547
so I doubt we're hitting the maximum number of threads here. Perhaps the test
should use g_thread_try_new() and retry a limited number of times on EAGAIN.
