Hi,

Even pthread_create() returns the errno, but it doestnot sets the errno EAGAIN, 
instead it retains the ENOMEM. I have verified in glibc-2.7.

Thats why the attached testcase results in..

$gcc -o test test.c -lpthread

$./test
pthread_create : Cannot allocate memory -> 12
Created 405 threads
pthread_create : Cannot allocate memory -> 12
..........
..........

errno value set to 12 (ENOMEM)
but needs to be EAGAIN.


Ths attached patch fixes this issue.

$./test
pthread_create : Resource temporarily unavailable -> 11
Created 405 threads
pthread_create : Resource temporarily unavailable -> 11
................
................

Thanks,
Halesh
