I assume that "run at once" doesn't necessarily mean run in parallel, but
rather exist and be runnable at one time...
Java doesn't impose any limits or allow you to express a limit per se,
although it's easy for you to impose your own limit. User-level threads
packages typically don't have limits. But if Java is using native facilities
like Win32's threads, those facilities may limit you. If there are limits like
this they are obviously important to applet writers who want to write portable
code. If anybody knows of relevant limits in likely native threads packages,
or other relevant least common denominators, I'd be interested in hearing
about them. We should make that info available to Java programmers.

Subject: Maximum number of threads
Is there a preset limit on the number of threads that can run at once?
If so, where does that limit come from?
