Default thread stack size on 32-bit machine is 1M, if you have
1024 threads, the size can be larger than 1G. I checked
maxinum threads kernel allowed is max_threads_per_proc
which is 1500 default. So what you have seen might be normal.
I don't know what is zombie, is it a zombie process?
thread library does not create process.
