[Bug libgomp/33720] A negative value in OpenMP clause num_threads is not detected at runtime

But in this case the value is negative, not zero, and it seems that gomp_fatal
is already being called:

libgomp: Out of memory allocating 34359738400 bytes

It will be better to print the cause of that "out of memory" error, that is,
that the number of threads was negative.
