- A TCB is a Thread Control Block -- there's 1 per thread. So this
- message likely means you have too many threads.

- Change the THREADS= line in your config.sys. The maximum number of
- threads this can be set to is 4096. If you're already exceeding this,
- reduce the number of threads running on your system.
