I just tried this on a 2.1.130 SMP ix86 kernel (192MB)
(http://neko.binary9.net/scripts/sysinfo) and only got some

vfork: Resource temporarily unavailable

after my load hit about 55 or so. They'd come in groups of 2 or 3, then
another gcc launched, then a few more. Other than that, it worked just
fine.

[dump question] what resource wasn't available? [/dump]

G'day!
