in libpthread,
if threads are not in the kernel then they do not count towards these
limits..
they are only in the kernel if they are waiting on a kernel
resource (e.g. a file or socket etc.)
in libthread all threads will count owards this limit.

this is the difference between the two libraries.

One tries to be more careful with kernel resources and the other is a lot
simpler to get right :-)
