It's hard to imagine how this is related.  CreateThread fails due to
memory problems?!?  A timerfd does not use a lot of resources, just a
96 bytes struct on the cygheap, a single page shared memory region, and
a thread per timerfd.  This include dup'ed descriptors which share the
timerfd resources with their sibling descriptors.
