Hello, I am using linux Fedora 12. The following script will consume all available memory in a matter of seconds. 

use threads;

while ($c < 100000){
  @thr_ll[$c]=threads->new(\&sys_call,$c);
  @thr_ll[$c]->detach();
  $c++;
}

sub sys_call(){
  print "Called: $_[0]\n";
}

I know the above statement is the WRONG way of using threads but its the only way I know of ensuring a fresh thread each time. It will use all system memory in a matter of seconds. With the following code the program will eventually crash after being run for extended periods (HOURS) of time with other running threads. No error message is observed. 
use threads;

while ($c < 100000){
  my $thr=threads->new(\&sys_call,$c);
  $thr->detach();
  $c++;
}

sub sys_call(){
  print "Called: $_[0]\n";
}
