Amount of threads per task?

Hi L4 Hackers!

When creating new threads within the L4Linux kernel, I "sometimes"
(whatever that means) get the following output and error:

*l4lx    | l4lx_thread_create: Created thread 0e.1a (Command)
    --Thread names exhausted!--------------------------------IP: 0050758e

What does that mean? After pressing "g", the system continues running.
However when I try to kill the thread later, I get the following:

    --Unknown TID to delete thread name!---------------------IP: 0050760a

Is it not possible to create more than 0x19 = 25 threads within the L4Linux
kernel? Or am I doing anything wrong?

Regards
Oskar.
