:  We use threaded programs very heavily here but we've never exceeded that
:  particular limit.  One problem is that allocating (malloc/realloc) the wait list

IMHO, the limit is not bad, since it warns you of high contention on a
channel, which could mean that you'd better split the work somehow.
