Hi, I have an unusual problem I was hoping someone could help me with. I have a FreeBSD 5.3 server that's been up for longer than a month. In that period, everything seemed fine. However, all of a sudden, I'm no longer able to spawn a shell in emacs. In fact, I cannot start any process (shell, gdb, grep, compile) inside emacs. It is happening to all the users, which makes me wonder if there's some OS-related issue in play here. I've tried restarting emacs, bypassing the emacs startup file, reinstalling emacs, and just about everything I could think of short of restarting the server (don't want to do that until I'm physically present). Any ideas or advice would be welcome. Thanks! Tony
