Cannot vfork (Resource temporarily unavailable)

[Patrick Welche <prlw1%cam.ac.uk@localhost>]

When trying to build pkgsrc/net/wget on -current/amd64, I see

--- wget.info ---
/tmp/pkgsrc/net/wget/work.x86_64/.tools/bin/makeinfo: Cannot vfork (Resource temporarily unavailable)
--- ./wget.info ---
/tmp/pkgsrc/net/wget/work.x86_64/.tools/bin/makeinfo: Cannot vfork (Resource temporarily unavailable)

(or /usr/pkgsrc/mk/gnu-config/missing)

There isn't much going on,

CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  0.0% system,  0.0% interrupt,  100% idle

and that is when running "make replace" in the directory for the nth time,
so hard to see the lack of resource.

Could this be an easier to repeat version of the "out of swap" kill "sh"
on boot problem?


Cheers,

Patrick
