I've saw a lot of messages here that fork said there is enough of
memory, while there was plenty of it, at least virtual.
I had the same problems and found out, that fork said this, when
system is overloaded, e.g. when I compiling the kernel, having a couple of
sendmails receiving data, etc. I can got this error. The most often it cames
from cron, that tries to run some bash script. May be fork() returns ENOMEM
instead of some other error code ?

Bye.
