Every since I upgraded my system to 2.2-STABLE a couple of months ago I have been having this temporary but re-occuring problem with procmail getting EAGAIN errors when trying to fork one or more of the programs that I have specified in my .procmailrc file. I believe my limits are sufficiently high: Resource limits (current): cputime infinity secs filesize infinity kb datasize-cur 32768 kb stacksize 8192 kb coredumpsize 8192 kb memoryuse-cur 32768 kb memorylocked 10240 kb maxprocesses 512 openfiles-cur 512 as I never have more than about 150 or so processes running on my system, yet procmail (and only procmail!) intermittantly has this problem. Note that I have upgraded my system a few times since I first started seeing this problem (right now I'm running 2.2-stable as of about 5 days ago), yet the problem persists. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -- Bob Willcox Deliberation, n.: The act of examining one's bread bob@luke.pmr.com to determine which side it is buttered on.
