I have checked both variables and set them way beyond 400. Nothing changed and I keep getting the same error.

At the risk of sounding foolish -- I do not know these variables -- I wonder whether their function is merely to report the capability of the host system, rather than to allow overriding it?

Note that this also happens if I spawn POSIX threads from a C program.

That's actually good news. Since it's not a Boost-specific issue, you can ask in a list where you're more likely to find thread gurus.

I think you want to take a look at _POSIX_THREAD_THREADS_MAX or PTHREADS_THREADS_MAX. One of the two (I forget which) dictates what you are guaranteed to be able to do.
