Re: Problem with Native POSIX Thread Library

[Mikado <mikado4vn@yahoo.com>]

Thank Lawrence, I've got this error message:

Error creating thread 382: Cannot allocate memory
Error creating thread 383: Cannot allocate memory
Error creating thread 384: Cannot allocate memory
Error creating thread 385: Cannot allocate memory
Error creating thread 386: Cannot allocate memory
Error creating thread 387: Cannot allocate memory
................

It always begins at thread 382. My RAM is 256+128 MB, isn't it enough???? hm... still in trouble
now.
