[Pkg-exppsy-maintainers] Bug#559085: Max number of threads on HPPA

[Michael Hanke]

Hi,

I maintain ODIN, a simulator for magnetic resonance imaging sequences. I
utilizes threads for its simulations and its test suite tries to create
256 thread. This test suite runs during package build-time -- and always
fails on HPPA, and just HPPA, e.g.

https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=odin;ver=1.8.1-1;arch=hppa;stamp=1263278934

also see

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=559085

Is there a global limit on the number of threads that is lower than 256?
I have no access to a HPPA machine and hence cannot look at
/proc/sys/kernel/threads-max without uploading a new package version.

Thanks,

Michael
