You need to go back to your original problem and tracking down the cause
before randomly guessing...

Hi Chris,

All right. Sometimes, under a classical user (non root I mean), if I
do:
top

I get (in french):
bash: fork: Ressource temporairement non disponible

Which means in english:
bash: fork: Ressource temporaly not available

Few seconds later, things are ok.

I assume it cannot fork anymore and I'm trying to understand why.
