Suspiciously high number of crashes with high number (>300) of threads

Project Member Reported by primiano@chromium.org, Aug 3 2017

Issue description

Some Chrome platforms (Windows and CrOS) seem to have a very high number of crashes where the number of threads is incredibly high (>300). This somehow suggests me that we are leaking threads somewhere.

You can see the thread count in the "Threads" page.

Can we capture the stack when creating a new thread to see what's going on here?

I looked historically back and there doesn't appear to be a regression here - the % of crashes with >300 threads has remained relatively constant, at least not in the last year or so. It would be good to do more analysis on what the ~300 threads are actually doing here...
Unfortunately, no minidumps are available (they were all discarded), so we can't verify the results of the symbolizer.

Jumping through a random set, there are likely some interesting ones
For example...

spins up tons of threads manually (They all have ThreadMain + MessagePumpDefault) with many suspicious rtc:PLatformThreads running around.

+oysteine I wonder if this is something where slow-reports could come handy.
