Threading behavior in 2.6.5 may be broken ?

One last followup:

This problem has gone way in 2.6.6(fedora 2.6.6-1.424).

Whatever change was made between 2.6.5 and 2.6.6 fixed this. In 2.6.6, I can in fact create 10,000 threads and this does not hang the entire machine (in 2.6.5, when the machine hung, even the console was inoperative and I couldn't run vmstat or cat /proc/meminfo to see what was going on).

Best regards,
