I just tested this using my perl-5.005-threads program... no change from
my last email (only 1023 threads created, program fails to respond to
ctrl-c when more than 1023 threads are attempted).

Duh. This was a really stupid bug.
In kernel/signal.c, collect_signal(), for the case where we don't find a
siginfo block, we need to clear the signal set.
In short, add the line
sigdelset(&list->signal, sig);
just before the first "return 1" in collect_signal(), and all should be
wel
btw., maybe it's init that gets those 2000 signals, not bash?

indeed, after changing max_queued_signals to 4096, i cannot crash the
kernel anymore with 2000 threads.

this appears to be reproducable (128M duron, haven't tried intel UP/SMP):

Greetings. I have already done some high level searchs of the
linux-kernel mailing list, as well as linux24.sourceforge.net (tytso's 2.4
todo list) and haven't seen mention of a problem referencing this problem.
The problem is large numbers of threads in 2.4.0-test8 can result in a
hard crash of
