I reproduced the previous problem on 10-CURRENT from r233917, on the
following platform (here running 8.2-RELEASE):

Complete system freeze while running about 2400 threads. I had to
power cycle the system to get it back alive. I discussed a way to
debug this with attilio_at_ on freebsd-stable_at_, but still did not had
time to implement it.
