Note: this code works fine under
v5.8.4 built for i386-freebsd-thread-multi-64int

I'm testing with
v5.8.4 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread - build 810 (activestate)

When I execute the following code if $thread_sleep = "50" my application
dies at threads_count == 119 religiously..

It exits with NO ERROR !!

if $thread_sleep = "3" then $thread_count reaches it's goal and exits...
I assume this is because older threads are exiting sooner

Is there a limit of threads per process under Win32 ??

Why don't I get any error ??

I'm using Windows 2000 - Build 2195 SP4 + patches

Thanks! 

use strict;

use warnings;
use threads;

my $thread_sleep = "50";
my $thread_count = "0";

for (1..5000) {
  threads->new(\&handle_thread,++$thread_count);
}
sleep 10;
print "--Parent Quits --";

######################

sub handle_thread {
    my $thread_count = shift;
    threads->self->detach;                # so long parent
    print "You are thread number $thread_count \n";
    sleep $thread_sleep;
}
