I generally run several git bash instances at a time to keep track of several interlinked packages. Once in a while I suddenly get this error when I try to open a new git bash terminal.
Error: could not fork child process: There are no available terminals (-1). <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dkUDcgYYSoc/WFJ0BbbRSSI/AAAAAAAAA-0/kQ5MbDG4fDAKVLVrzkTvhFqXpd-6d4hOwCLcB/s1600/GitBashCrash.PNG> All the running terminals remain operational, I just cannot open any new ones. If I close them all, I can usually re-open several of them, but never as many as I had to begin with. At that point the system seems to have decided on a set maximum; every time I close a terminal, I can open one, but I can never again go beyond the arbitrary max. Other terminals will spawn fine: I can still run new instances of git/bin/bash.exe, as well as cmd. It's just git-bash that borks. I've tried running from the start menu, explorer and from bash with the same result. Environment details: OS: Windows.
