Hi, I fixed a bug today with one of the many copies of a for-loop that calls fork(2) up to fives times until it succeeds. Ken wondered why we bother with multiple attempts. It's a good point. Historically, they were probably vfork(2), but even so... If anyone knows a good reason then pipe up promptly, otherwise they're all turning into a single attempt as if fork() fails thrice and then succeeds there's probably other problems coming down the pipe as we plough on.
