Here comes a wild guess.  The pthread emulation of Pth is
non-preemptive, unlike most other pthread implementations, which means
that the code must explicitly yield control to other threads.  Thus,
it's possible that many threads have been created, but haven't had
much of a chance to run, as other threads are running.  This would
lead to threads being created faster than they can finish their task.

So try to sprinkle pth_yield calls around the code, and see if that
helps.
