I'm not a pthreads expert, but my best guess is that your program tried to create a thread with a stack address that was too high. Remember that with a 2 GB KVA, user processes have only 2 GB to play with instead of 3 GB, so attempting to mmap() a stack above about 2 GB would cause pthread_create() to return EAGAIN.
