Whilst running one of our recently upgraded systems (4.0D to 5.1, Oracle 7.3
-> 9.0.1.4.0), We encountered the following in a generated log files. The
process did not run.

[SNIP...]
%DECthreads bugcheck (version V3.18-042d), terminating execution.
% Reason: vpInitMultithread: (os/kern) resource shortage (6)
nxm_task_init(11fff3a40,3ffc01b7e90)
% Running on OSF1 V5.1(732) on AlphaServer 4100 5/533 4MB, 1024Mb; 2 CPUs,
pid 465847-directed.
DEBUG 08:57:24.176 15/9/102>> job log file is
/usr/users/nemint/N7PREI/build/server/log/job_1452080_pid_475969.log.
DEBUG 08:57:24.176 15/9/102>> job_start: 1452080, pid is 475969.
[...SNIP]

I am investigating this now, but need a quick turnaround to this. Can anyone
please answer the following:

Where else would this resource issue be logged?
Is it a machine configuration issue?
What does it indicate (too many open threads)?

Can anyone provide any additional information?

I need a quick workaround and longer term solution, all help and advise is
welcomed.

Thanks in advance.
