I know that for SuSE Linux 9.0, you can adjust the number of threads by
writing a value into /proc/sys/kernel/max-threads. So, to set it to
2048, use:
echo 2048 >/proc/sys/kernel/max-threads
To see the current value, use:
cat /proc/sys/kernel/max-threads
YMMV with SuSE 7.1, but it should be very similar.
