If it says ``out of processes'', i wouldn't be surprised. sysinstall runs as init, but i've seen the above one time as well, due to there being many zombies around. Apparently, sysinstall isn't very interested in the death of its children. OTOH, it _sometimes_ is interested, and that was enough to defeat the idea to install a global SIGCHILD handler.
