Remark
======
I tried to reproduce the RC bug in a QEMU VM with 64 cores but was
unable to reproduce it precisely (pthread_create() dies with EAGAIN
instead of ENOMEM).
Recently, I find a similar bug[0], which will be fixed in the future by
splitting big test into smaller ones (the temporary fix is to disable
the test).
So I try to split a big test into 24 smaller ones and pthread_create()
doesn't die with EAGAIN anymore. However, I am not sure if the bug is
really fixed since I don't have a physical machine with 64 cores to test
on it.
Cheers,
Alex
