Hi again,
I'm having a strange problem.
I try to install afterstep (with pkgsrc) and I get:
"validating dependencies"
"cannot fork"
error 1 (repeated many times)
Afterstep: cannot build neccessary dependencies
Error code 1.

In a different xterm I get:
/netbsd: proc: table is full - increase kern.maxproc or NPROC

So I tried:

sysctl -w kern.maxproc=1532 (I added 1000 to the default 532).

Then I rebooted, unlimited the datasize on my shell and tried to build
afterstep again.
I still get the same error.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Jeff
