Re: fork problems on x64

I have the same problems with multiple apps - Exim and UW-ipop.  They
both fail with the same faults:
fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

The Exim will send a few mails, but will fail after a few minutes use.
UW-ipop fails the first time its called into use. Both are loaded as
services into an x64 2008 R2 server.

I notice the mail list has other "x64 fork" problem reports. My
suspicion is the fault is in the core cygwin dll. Any thoughts please?

Did you try rebaseall?


I tried that just now. No changes. The other utilities I run or test seem to work OK. It would appear its just when a fork is called for, that the resource fault occurs.


It might be a file / location permissions fault too, though I have checked for this without anything obvious. Both Exim and inetd services run from an admin level account, so they should be OK for resource access.

I'm happy to try or test anything reasonable that can be suggested??
