Description
I have set PTHREAD_POOL_SIZE to 5 and everything runs but
```
void test() {
std::future request = std::async(std::launch::async, [] {
emscripten_sleep(100);
return 4;
});
std::cout << request.get() << std::endl;
}
```
After invoking this test function from JS for more than 5 times, the main thread basically hangs.
What's more interesting is that I see following warning in the console,
`Blocking on the main thread is very dangerous, see https://emscripten.org/docs/porting/pthreads.html#blocking-on-the-main-browser-thread`
Is this expected?
I have not used the Proxy flag because I thought that it's overkill!
