Good catch! I was aware of it, but didn't come to my mind in this context.

I was not able to reproduce it as I was building from a user session,
while you are probably outside of it (system service or a naked shell).

I just reproduced it via `systemd-run --scope -p TasksMax=512 ./tcp-stress`.
Part of it is due to the tcp-stress test not checking for spawned thread, I've 
just submitted a PR to make that failure explicit:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33640

If your sbuild is running as a daemon or in any other dedicated way, I think 
you should ask for its TasksMax setting to be increased.

Ciao, Luca
