Mysql sems to hang.

I periodicaly have mysql hang with the error message.
    mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
    error: 'Can't create a new thread (errno 35). If you are not out of
    available memory, you can consult the manual for a possible  OS-dependent
    bug'

I am running Linux 5.1 on an Alpha processor.
kernel version 2.1.124
glibc is glibc-2.0.7-13

The thread tests all seem to run to completion correctly and in past
experiances I found that the thread tests were the first to break when the
pthread problem exists in glibc.


Is there a list of error numbers and what causes them. I get the
imperssion that the error messages do not directly relate to a specific
cause. I have been trying to relate an error number back to a point in the
source code without much luck.
