I found the bug here.  AIM (tik) tries to play a sound whenever you get an
Instant Message.  I just noticed that sound is not working on my box.

So all these IM sounds got queued up and hung, resulting in a no more
processes error.

Now I'm not sure why sound doesn't work. I have a G3 rev2 B&W running
Shaw's 2.2.6 kernel.

aumix doesn't seem to be working correctly:
[jackal@isis ~]$ aumix -q
vol 216, 88
speaker 216, 88
line 0, 0, P
mic 0, 0, P
cd 0, 0, R
pcm2 15, 0
[jackal@isis ~]$ aumix -v 0 0
[jackal@isis ~]$ aumix -p 0 0
[jackal@isis ~]$ aumix -q
vol 216, 88
speaker 216, 88
line 0, 0, P
mic 0, 0, P
cd 0, 0, R

I'm not running much.  Just about 10 aterms, netscape and aim.

Are you using LinuxPPC 1999? The utempter package as distributed by LinuxPPC
is broken, xterms for example will never terminate (except by kill -9) and
will fill up entries in the process table. I don't know if LinuxPPC has a
fix for it (I doubt it), but you'll find the fix at www.redhat.com.

Anyone know if there's a fix for this?

I searched on lists.linuxppc.org for utempter and found no mention of this
problem.

I found rpm updates for utempter on www.redhat.com for i386, sparc, and
alpha but not for linuxppc.
