I upgraded to 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.x86_64 fedora core 9, now I get this error when I try to login to the box, kill a pr start a python app, or do anything on a regular basis.
fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
I have over 10GB RAM free, and zero swap spaced used. The box is a dual quad core Intel Xeon 5405 with 16GB RAM.
There is no error message in /var/log/messages or dmesg ... how do I identify the problem? thanks!
