Guess your running Linux/Unix - failure to fork, can be for a number of reasons a - Total number of system processes exceeded. b - Total number of processes executed by user Id exceeded. c - Insufficient memory/swap space See man page on fork. It is possible to adjust the number of processes, depends on which OS, favour of Linux/Unix. Your running too many processes or get_iplayer is creating too many processes for some reason. Maybe Running get_iplayer at same time as other daily tasks, exceeds the limits.
