I am getting messages that the system cannot fork.
This is a A4000 with 2 - 400mhz processors and 1 gig of memory

we are doing eager swapping
Wenco-> swapon -s
Swap partition /dev/rz9b (default swap):
    Allocated space: 416068 pages (3250MB)
    In-use space: 1 pages ( 0%)
    Free space: 416067 pages ( 99%)


Total swap allocation:
    Allocated space: 416068 pages (3250MB)
    Reserved space: 68393 pages ( 16%)
    In-use space: 1 pages ( 0%)
    Available space: 347675 pages ( 83%)

There is a lot of processes on the system (286 give or take )

Where else should I be looking to resolve problem nproc?
