If you think fork() kills the box then ulimit the maximum number
of user processes (ulimit -u). This is a different issue and a
bad design in the scheduler (see e.g. Tru64 for a better one).

My fair scheduler catches this one just fine. It hasn't
been integrated in the kernel yet, but both VA Linux and
Conectiva use it in their kernel RPM.

BTW: do you have a fairsched patch for 2.4?

I haven't updated it yet to the latest kernels yet...

[but I, or someone else, should ;)]
