Subject2.4.0-test6-pre5: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
test6-pre5 doen't like to be shutdown and rebooted. At random
places while shutting down messages appear from /etc/rc.d/rc
saying that it cannot fork. pressing ctrl-alt-del again makes
init saying: cannot fork, retry.

alt-sysrq-m shows
41MB free, 26MB normal, 14MB DMAable, L00 HighMem = 0kb free

alt-sysrq-t shows only a few processes with slight variation, including

init
kswapd
kflushd
kupdate

Symtom goes away when /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs is never started. During shutdown
it sometimes says:

rpciod: active tasks at shutdown ?!

while it has never been mounted from.

Hardware is SMP, everything is a module.
2.4.0-test5 is ok.
