Hi folks ! I think it is very useful to know, that the NeXT-Mach Kernel does not support more than 2oo threads ! Running a program under the gdb doesn t change anything ! To solve this little problem is to use not more than 2oo threads. I think that the most applications won t use all threads at the same time - some will die after a while - so that the thread_set_limt() makes them only a little bit slowlier. I don t know if 3.o solves that kernel-bug. ( using 2.1 ) Jolly B) Post Scriptum : Don t try to test the bug, cause it may damage some files ( 2 files were destructed on my host due to the fsck !!) Post Post Scriptum : I think that NeXT should not publish files, which will panic the system after inserting only one character. ( The only thing you have to do is to insert a "2" in front of the "15" in the NeXT Operating System thread-example ).
