Hi I have now fixed this issue, mainly by tracing the working Valgrind x86 Linux version. Previously, on FreeBSD the first thread created would allocate a GDT and this would be reused by all other threads until the creation of the 8192nd thread when there would no longer be a free slot and it would fail. Now each thread gets its own GDT which is initialized as a copy of the parent thread's GDT. This GDT gets freed after thr_exit. No more slot exhaustion due to large numbers of short-lived threads being created. A+ Paul
