Subjectfork: Resource temporarily unavailable/select: Bad file descriptor
Date
Hey all....

After a few days of my server running, I keep getting:

fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

-AND-

select: Bad file descriptor

in my /var/log/messages. I don't understand what is causing this to
happen... nothing ever crashes, it just keeps putting those messages in the
log and I'm not able to run any new programs, and inetd isn't able to spawn
sessions for ftpd, telnetd, etc. It continues like this until I reboot the
server.

Can anyone tell me what might be happening? The system usage doesn't look
out of the ordinary, nor does the memory usage.

I am running:

Dual-PII 266mhz (non-SMP kernel; building a SMP kernel caused it to crash
every day)
512MB ECC EDO SDRAM
2-4.1gb UW-SCSI hard drives (on an Adaptec 7880 on-board SCSI card)
Redhat 5.0 w/ 2.0.34 kernel

TIA,

Jeremy Domingue
