fork problem

- Subject: fork problem
Since yesterday, (and, _of course_, I vehemently deny changing anything in my
system), I've been plagued with
bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
and an unadorned bash prompt.
If I type exit:
Sometimes it continues on to show my regular bash prompt, which leads me to
think that some call in my .profile failed.
Sometimes, though, typing exit actually exits.
Sometimes, if I just wait, the startup continues and my expected prompt shows
up.
What would cause a fork to be temporarily unavailable?
Dave
