#19835 [NEW]: Cannot fork() error when using exec()

From: veins@skreel.org Operating system: Unix (OpenBSD-3.0) PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: Cannot fork() error when using exec() Lately, we figured out that PHP was having problems sometimes while working with exec(). We would get a 'Warning: could not fork [some/scripts.sh]' for a delay of about 10 minutes, after what everything comes back to normal. I tried to log into the server while PHP was giving me the error and noticed that everything was working fine. This happened once with 4.2.2 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19835&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19835&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19835&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19835&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19835&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19835&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19835&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19835&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19835&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19835&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19835&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19835&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19835&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19835&r=isapi
