I just tested this using my perl-5.005-threads program... no change from my last email (only 1023 threads created, program fails to respond to ctrl-c when more than 1023 threads are attempted). This _appears_ to be a bug in perl-5.005-threads as shipped with debian potato.
Using Mark Hahn's test code, I get all 2000 threads successfully created, and they respond properly when killed via ctrl-c. So that appears to fix the problem.
ASSUMING the perl-5.005-thread problem is indeed a perl problem I think this solves the kernel crash problem. (NOTE, I have test this with max_queued_signal at 4096 and 1024... no difference for either perl or Mark's code.)
I'll get the source to perl-5.005-thread and play with it later tonight.
