In the barrier test, for example, if the test can't launch enough threads, the already-launched threads will be waiting on the barrier. The test thread will then abort, destroying the barrier, whilst still having threads waiting. This is a bug in the test: the existing threads should be interrupted and joined under such circumstances.
Martin, could you check the attached version of test_barrier.cpp in your environment: it should gracefully interrupt all threads on an exception, and thus avoid the assertion failure.
This seems to work. I tried various settings of RLIMIT_NPOC and I was unable to produce the assertion error.
Thanks. I've checked in the fix to test_barrier, and I'll come up with similar fixes for the other tests too.
