+    <pinotree> (it should rather be /o\, but better pretend not)
+    <braunr> pinotree: yes, we regularly see it
+    <braunr> pinotree: how long has the machine been running at this point ?
+    <pinotree> dunno, you should ask samuel about that
+    <pinotree> does it happen after N hours/days?
+    <braunr> a few days of moderate to high activity yes
+    <pinotree> ah ok
+    <braunr> and i actually see this error much more often when i disable the
+      libports stability patch in the hurd debian package
+    <braunr> so i guess something is wrong with thread recycling
+    <braunr> but i wanted to completely rewrite that part with the new kernel
+      call i asked bddebian to work on :)
