Subsequent calls from the same thread continue to allocate new thread-specific slots without freeing the first, so that repeated calls eventually result in all available thread-specific data slots being allocated. Can you try this patch instead? It changes the RPC code in libc to use pthread_once() to execute init functions that create various pthread keys used for per-thread data. http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/rpc_once.patch -- John Baldwin
