Well, that was a short reply! Cool! [:) So, theoretical maximum of 4095, 
practically modified by actual physical process address space.

Most of the threads will be identical and will just be running different 
instance data, so process space shouldn't be a problem. And with what 
i've got running that gives me probably just under 4000 threads to play 
with. _Should_ be more than enough.

That's great. Thanks, Mike!
