I have seen others post about this, but have not seen a solution.

For git pull operations, and some other git commands, I get fork 
failures like this: (happens with any repository, this is just an example)

$ git pull 2 [main] git 7384 fork: child -1 - forked process 7420 died 
unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741515, errno 11 error: cannot 
fork() for rev-list: Resource temporarily unavailable error: Could not 
run 'git rev-list' remote: Counting objects: 728, done. remote: 
Compressing objects: 100% (456/456), done. 907550 [main] git 7384 fork: 
child -1 - forked process 7436 died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code 
-1073741515, errno 11 error: cannot fork() for index-pack: Resource 
temporarily unavailable fatal: fetch-pack: unable to fork off index-pack

However, if I set the PATH to something really small before running git, 
it works:

$ PATH=/usr/bin git pull remote: Counting objects: 728, done. remote: 
Compressing objects: 100% (456/456), done. remote: Total 464 (delta 
337), reused 9 (delta 6) Receiving objects: 100% (464/464), 153.36 KiB, 
done. Resolving deltas: 100% (337/337), completed with 107 local 
objects. From git://cmake.org/cmake


Here is the PATH:

I have made it significantly smaller and it still crashes.  Is there a 
way to debug this?

Thanks.
