Thread count of 64-bit processes is limited by memory

One user wondered about the limit on threads in one Windows process. In 32-bit processes, address space is the limit. On 64-bit processes, though, there's no shortage of address space. There, a process can continue creating threads until the system runs out of memory. On my machine, that's about 270,000 threads.
