>From the ERRORS section of the fork(2) page:

     [EAGAIN]  The user is not the super user, and the soft resource limit
               corresponding to the resource parameter RLIMIT_NOFILE would be
               exceeded (see getrlimit(2)).
	       
Shouldn't RLIMIT_NOFILE read RLIMIT_NPROC?

Regards,

Niall.
