Ingo,
This has been in the workqueue code in day one, for no real reason that I can see. We just tripped over it in SCSI because the fibre channel transport class creates one workqueue per host with the name scsi_wq_%d which trips this after we get to 100. Unfortunately we just came across someone with > 100 host adapters ...
I think the solution is just to get rid of the artificial limit.
James
