I'm seeing the following error:

fork: Cannot allocate memory

at seemingly random times.  It shows up coming from inetd in my logs and
I've also seen it from the command line when trying to execute a command
(ls, man, etc).

Any idea what could cause this?  I'm running a 1.5.2-macppc kernel with 512M
of memory.  'top' shows that the machine has ample free memory.

Thanks,
