WWW Form Bug Report: ""coul dn't spawn child process" err all cgi's" on Ultrix (fwd)

[Rob Hartill <ro...@imdb.com>]

acked.

I assumed the "couldn't spawn" is due to a lack of processes or
file descriptors and needs kernel reconfiguration.

The rest of the message relates to compiling 1.2b4 under Ultrix. Something
for Jim to read.

Error log show "couldn't spawn..." when attempt to access any cgi's.  
Testing 1.2b4 server config'd for port 81 with uniqe config&log files.

Also running (and working) on same machine: 1.1.1 server on port 80, 
apache_1.3ssl server on port 443.
scoreboard files were verified unique (caused similar err on initial https tests).

Some compile warnings during build:

Note that -Iregex had to be added to INCLUDES1 (regex.h)
Also (unrelated?) had to change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/sh5 in helpers/PringPath for Configure (sh didn't know [ -x ... ])
