Synopsis: fails to fork off a cgi

State-Changed-From-To: feedback-closed
State-Changed-By: brian
State-Changed-When: Wed May 20 19:50:30 PDT 1998
State-Changed-Why:
Not to sound like we're putting our head in the sand, but
this does sound like a local resource exhaustion issue,
and I concur with others that retrying the fork is simply 
a very bad idea. You may be only seeing 50% exhaustion as
an average or a sampling problem; I bet if you're seeing 50%
average you'll be hitting peaks into 100% fairly frequently.
Let us know if increasing your resources doesn't alleviate 
the problem.
