Arghh.  It's creating system scope threads, so you have
to adjust kern.threads.max_groups_per_proc.

  $ sudo sysctl kern.threads.max_groups_per_proc=100
  kern.threads.max_groups_per_proc: 50 -> 100
  $ pwd
  /usr/local/lib/python2.3/test
  $ sudo python test_threaded_import.py
  Trying 20 threads ... OK.
  Trying 50 threads ... OK.
  Trying 20 threads ... OK.
  Trying 50 threads ... OK.
  Trying 20 threads ... OK.
  Trying 50 threads ... OK.
