What happens if a process cannot fork? What's the cause of this? How can 
this be fix?

I have a special shell /bin/chat for a particular user. After 20 people 
logged in using this special account, I see the message below:

/bin/chat: Cannot fork.

/bin/chat is a script that automatically envokes an irc client.

Thank you
