Subject: fork within a service process

Hello,

I have been trying to use the fork call within a process that I set up as a
NT Service. Whenever the service tries to do a fork, it dies with the
following error message:

fork_helper: child died before initialization with win32 error 80

Any ideas? Error 80 is "The file exists". This is not very helpful. Anyone
have any idea why this would happen, and/or how I can fix it? Thanks in
advance...
