Hi! I updated to 8.99.6 from yesterday and then started a bulk build. After a very short while it was hung and I couldn't connect from outside. When I came back to the console, I saw that it had run out of resources and couldn't fork anything.
There were a lot of processes called "Build", probably from one of the packages in the bulk build. I couldn't even shutdown, because zsh couldn't fork shutdown, nor did pressing the power button help, because the powerd script couldn't be forked. /var/log/messages had: /netbsd: proc: table is full - increase kern.maxproc or NPROC and powerd[932]: fork to run script: Resource temporarily unavailable I wonder why I suddenly see this behaviour in 8.99.6, I haven't seen that before (I was using 8.99.5 from October before). And I also wonder if at least the shutdown could be improved in case of fork problems. And I finally wonder if kern.maxproc should have a better default, or be autosized. Ideas? Thomas
