freebsd stable - May 2003 - Strange threads problems

Hello!

    Have installed 4.8R and recompiled kernel with next options:

options         MAXDSIZ="(2UL*1024*1024*1024)"
options         MAXSSIZ="(256*1024*1024)"
options         DFLDSIZ="(1024*1024*1024)"

and MySQL with native threads failed to load with
Fatal error 'Can't create gc thread' at line ? in file 
/usr/src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_create.c (errno = ?) error and with
Can't create interrupt-thread (error 35, errno: 4) error with 
linuxthreads. Commenting out MAXSSIZ and DFLDSIZ options solves the 
problem. What I doing wrong?

Hi Boris,
Not really,  It's a bug in freebsd.  Try reducing MAXDSIZ to
(2047*1024*1024),  it has to be less than 2Gig or a thread will not be
created.  I think it is a problem with signing and the way threads
check for available memory before starting up.

This should work in libc_r with 4.8-R, but not 4.7-R.  If MySQL is
statically built (for some strange reason), have you tried
recompiling it?  MySQL does use libc_r, right?
