Subjectfork: Resource temporarily unavailable / cant start new threads
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!
