Is it your program?
If so, do something like this:
int kid_pid;
/* ... later ... */
switch (kid_pid = fork()) {
case -1:
perror ("myprogram: fork()");
exit (1);
/* ... rest of it ... */
}
If not, the program is not giving you enough info :-)
You may be able to attach it in gdb and break fork,
step until the next line of code after the fork, and
print (char *) strerror (errno).
