Note that you can't force anybody to look at your PR.  In particular,
Matt Dillon has plenty of other stuff to do.

That doesn't make it correct to close the PR.  David is pointing to a
regression here: he says that the system can no longer recover from a
resource problem where it previously did.  That's serious enough to
take another look at.

I did take another look.  I couldn't reproduce the problem.  I've been
running the test program for 5 minutes now, and I've collected about
3,200 zombies.  Further forks fail because the proc table is full.
There!  I've stopped it with ^C.
