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.
