Hi folks,

More bad news.  I've been trying to build perl5 on my NetBSD 1.2 system.
It goes through the configuration fine, but while doing a "make depend",
it starts giving my "proc table full" messages.  Then it gives another
"cannot fork" message.

So, I ctrl-C out of this mess and pretty much can't do anything because
I'll get one of the two messages whenever I type a command.

I did a "unlimit [-h] maxproc", but that didn't seem to help.

Any clues?

Thanks,
