  According to the build logs for 0.5.16-2, it successfully creates
37 new threads, failing on the 38th.  More annoyingly, it looks like
sysconf is not reporting the existence of a limit on the number of
threads the test can create; both tests are trying to create their
default number of threads (the number of threads to create would have
been lowered to the limit had sysconf indicated that there was a
limit -- I thought maybe I had an off-by-one error in how I was
computing the limit, but apparently that's not the case).

  Anyway, the build looks like it succeeded now that the failed
pthread_create is ignored.
