Your subject gave me an impression that you are creating lots of
logical units with one target but looks like you are trying to create
lots of targets with a single logical unit, right?

We use pthread and glibc has the limit of the number of
pthreads. Looks like you hit it. I guess that tgt also has a bug (tgt
should handle pthread creation failure or something properly) though.
