            Bug ID: 76101
           Summary: [TRIVIAL] PTHREAD_CREATE(3): EAGAIN and pid_max
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org
          Reporter: carstengrohmann-Mmb7MZpHnFY@public.gmane.org
        Regression: No

Hi,

The system-wide limit on the number of threads can also reached by a small
value in /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max. E.g. RHEL5 and RHEL6 systems uses a default
of 32768 in pid_max probably for compatibility with 32bit applications.

This causes an EAGAIN also if the number of threads is significant lower than
thread-max or RLIMIT_NPROC.

Please extent the EAGAIN statement to reflect pid_max too.

Thanks,
Carsten
