I find it strange that it stopped at 255 threads. Maximum number of threads
in linux is 1024 as defined by PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX in
/usr/include/bits/local_lim.h. With default stacksize you would have
allocated 500M of virtual memory, but I am not too sure if that would result
in thread creation failure.
