fork: out of memory

With 2.1.65 I've noticed a couple 'fork: out of memory'
messages that I think are spurious. At least there was
plenty of free memory left at the times I got these
messages. The last time I got it it came from cron's
run-parts script (I am on a Red Hat 4.2 system) and
it was mailed to root.

I also got an awk help display on the screen.

Anyone else seen this?
