- 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 )

- 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 ).
