% cat th.c
#include <pthread.h>
#include <sched.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define THREAD_COUNT 10000
void *dummy(void *p) {
    sleep(3);
    return NULL;
}
int main(void) {
    int i;
    pthread_t *threads = malloc(sizeof(pthread_t) * THREAD_COUNT);
    for (i = 0; i < THREAD_COUNT; i++) {
        if (pthread_create(&threads[i], NULL, dummy, &i)) {
            perror("pthread_create");
            abort();
        }
        sched_yield();
    }
    return 0;

% gcc -pthread th.c&&./a.out
a.out: _lwp_ctl: zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  ./a.out
