had "cannot fork..." with a region or process message, (I can't
remember exactly what it was).
After spending a lot of time adjusting every kernel parameter I could
think of, I found a paragraph in the manual that told me that if the
available resources in the swap space and main memory were
insufficient for the fork, then this message will appear!
Re-installing the system with more swap space fixed the problem.
