So, it appears we stumbled upon the infamous RTFM problem ...
There is apparently no need to rebuild the kernel in order to increase the
per-user thread limit. Instead, adding the following to the
/etc/sysconfigtab file seems to work just fine:
proc:
max-threads-per-user = 512
In our case the specific problem was trying to use 'maxuthreads' in this
file -- 'max-threads-per-user' is the correct parameter name.
There were also several suggestions to use the dxkerneltuner program to
adjust the parameter value, which would probably have done the trick for
us.
Thanks for all responses!
