The problem does not only happen with double cores, lately I'm seeing this (P4 
single core, no simulated multi-processor either):

2007-04-29 15:02:36 daemon: accept process fork failed: Resource temporarily 
unavailable
2007-04-29 15:03:36 daemon: accept process fork failed: Resource temporarily 
unavailable
2007-04-29 15:04:37 daemon: accept process fork failed: Resource temporarily 
unavailable

which is Exim complaining after it started.

My problem, I think, is a bad network driver... or at least it takes too long 
for it to "start up".  The network card is surely completely different from what 
you use (an Intel PRO/1000 MT with driver from Intel).
