I seem to be getting these errors often, and unexpectedly, given what's going on on my system (i.e. not much at the moment other than me, incoming mail and about a dozen xterms on the screen.) Will increasing maxusers in the kernel help? In /sys/conf/param.c NPROC is (20 + 16 * MAXUSERS), and I have maxusers defined as 10 in my kernel. I don't have 180 processes going when I get these errors. Or is it something more intractable? Is it swap space? I thought I had enough of that, I don't ever seem to be close to running out.... Thanks again for any advice, and for your responses in the past. I usually try checking the questions archive first; but it hasn't been updated since September. Will there be another update at some point? Allyn Hardyck
