Strange maxuprc error... Any ideas?

OK This one has me baffled. I'm trying to compile a simple 10 line
fortran test. I get the "maxuprc (=64) exceeded". Trouble is, I'm
nowhere NEAR the limit of 64. I can compile c programs, do ls, etc
no problem. Just f77. For example:

rtalpha3> make hel
cc hel.c -o hel <--- cc works fine

rtalpha3> make dub
f77 dub.f -o dub <--- f77 fails
task_create() failed for pid 29063: maxuprc (=64) exceeded for uid 12018.
Error : No more processes
*** Exit 1
Stop.

rtalpha3> ps -u 12018 <--- what do I have running that I don't know about?
   PID TTY S TIME CMD
 28383 ttyp0 S 0:00.10 -ksh (ksh)

rtalpha3>

Nothing. Just my shell.

I also checked basic licenses (even though I would not expect this error
from a dead license)

FORTRAN-O active unlimited
OSF-DEV active unlimited
OSF-USR active unlimited
OSF-BASE active unlimited

Looks OK.

For what it's worth the load on the WHOLE SYSTEM is less than 64
procs:

rtalpha3> ps -ef | wc
        45 415 3356

Anyone have a clue what I'm missing here?

I suppose the first thing to try is a reboot, but I haven't done that...
yet.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
