I'm not Linus though ;-) fork () is a system call that creates a process (child) with the same process information as the father except the pid, for "concurrent" execution. (threads are better, since it doesn't copy a lot of such info) In your case, it looks like it the kernel can't spawn such a process.
How to fix it is another issue ,that I'm sure somebody in here will help you out.
