Unless you've done something special, each thread gets a 1MB stack. So
2000 threads works out to about 2GB which exhausts the virtual memory
space. I have not read the code but I assume you don't try to
create 2000 concurrent threads. Could it be that somehow the resources
used by each thread are not getting released?
