   A TCB is a Thread Control Block -- there's 1 per thread. So this
message likely means you have too many threads.

   Change the THREADS= line in your config.sys. The maximum number of
threads this can be set to is 4096. If you're already exceeding this,
reduce the number of threads running on your system.
