Cool, Thanks A LOT for looking into this! I appreciate it!
after I reduce the BSIZE to 50k, it can create more than 10k threads
before calloc error.. so i am going to drop this thread:)
(just fyi, i use your prog on our machine w/ BSIZE =500k
(~512M Ram), again i got SEG fault before the calloc error after it
creates 913 threads, this number is repeatable..  so it is wierd..
as suggested by others, it might be a lib related prob., we may use a diff
lib etc..
i am going to look into this later..

Thanks again!
yan
