1.5.21: inetd telnet connections: fork error


I have installed and run the cygwin inetd telnet server and find that when more than around 16 users connect via telnet the shells start to fail with the following message:
16622413 [main] -bash 3868 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x80, errno 11
-bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable


Each session starts a sh.exe, an in.telnetd.exe and one or more application processes (though so far we?ve only loaded 2). Each or these processes takes between 4Mb and 10Mb memory according to Windows task Manager.

We need to be able to run at least 24 telnet connections using an average of 3 application processes.

The machine we?re using is a Xeon processor with 4Gb Ram running Windows 2000.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Nick
