Hi ,

Keep in mind that each thread uses a thread stack of 4MB on 32 bit
systems, 8MB on 64 bit systems. So you're looking at 1-2GB of RAM
dedicated to the threads with a setting like this. Make sure you don't
configure more threads than you have RAM for...

I would add that your threads setting is likely a rather insane value unless you have 256*4 cores (1024 core box). You generally don't need to set the threads value higher than 8 or 16.
