That's a message from minivend.  The first is harmless, the second
could be a problem.

Locate minivend.cfg and change the MaxServers entry to 0 and
HouseKeeping to 1.  Then restart minivend.

These config changes keep minivend from hanging in some unusual 
circumstances.  Once it is hung access to the catalog pages
leaves the cgi hanging waiting for minivend to respond.  I
guess it could eventually get to the point where it can't
fork any more processes but we always caught it before that.
