Actually, I've always had a problem like this on 2.0.x. I have a 64-node cluster, and I frequently run scripts which fork 128 processes at a time. These scripts occasionally get 'cannot fork', with no resource starvation evident... I wrote some test programs but wasn't able to get a nice, repeatable behavior.
