Hi,
After about an uptime of two days, all of a sudden I cannot execute
programs from my prompt anymore:
bash-2.01# clear
bash: fork: Out of memory
bash-2.01# ls
bash: fork: Out of memory
bash-2.01# cat /proc/meminfo
bash: fork: Out of memory
bash-2.01#
However, now my system has recovered again. Anyone else experiencing
difficulties like this? My system: Cx586/100 with 32mb ram, about 100mb
swap (which I know I have not used up)
