Fork: Resource temporarily unavailable


On Mon, 16 Jun 2008 01:16:11 +0100, "Adam Thompson" <...@gmail.com

Dear all,

We have several sshd installations based on Cygwin, running on Server
2003 SP1 (and also SP2).

Over the last 12 months or so, there seems to have been a lot of
problems with sshd - the eventlogs cite a fork: resource temporarily
unavailable - error.

I've checked the obvious (ie port 22/tcp isn't already bound
elsewhere, ran filemon/regmon) but failed to find the reason. Is
there a way of logging _which_ resource is temporarily (or rather,
persistently) unavailable?

There seems to be a higher occurrence of this issue on Citrix PS
4.0/4.5 presentation servers, but after ruling out various memory and
cpu optimisations (eg DLL rebasing - I've tried the rebaseall script
and confirmed that none of the sshd or cygrunsrv dependencies have
been touched by Citrix MPS), I can't pin it down to a specific patch
level or configuration.

I've seen various other threads relating to this issue, but no
solution. I'd like to find the solution, but I seem to be missing
some vital pieces of the puzzle.

I have a nasty feeling this is going to involve learning a bit more
about understanding the drwtsn32.exe crashdumps (manually attaching
the debugger, as crashdumps aren't a symptom of this issue).

Thanks in advance - for any pointers/hints,

Thanks Larry- I've taken a look at the list, and the only match with
our environment is McAfee - but that doesn't explain why some servers
run just fine with it, while others develop a problem.

I'm currently thinking that most of the issues are seen on Citrix
Metaframe Presentation Servers, after they've had the following CTX
hotfixes installed:

PSE400W2K3R04
PSE400R04W2K3001
PSE400R04W2K3002
PSE400R04W2K3007
PSE400R04W2K3011
PSE400R04W2K3039


- It's still confusing, as it seems to affect around 80% of such
servers, whilst the remaining 20% carry on just fine. The issue also
seems to affect some servers when a lower hotfix level has been
applied. For the moment, I'm going to concentrate on the Citrix
angle, and put the other miscellaneous servers (SQL or Exchange) to
one side and consider them likely to be a separate issue with similar
symptoms.
I'm currently re-investigating the CPU and memory optimization
features in case I missed something previously.
