Hi!

After a regular update session a few weeks ago, ViewCVS stopped working.
I noticed this only later and thus do not know exactly what was changed.

I've searched on the ViewCVS and Cygwin websites/maillists and Google
about this and found nothing helpful.  I also posted to the
ViewCVS-mailling list four days ago, but no-one has answered me yet. 

Anyway, I get this, everytime I access the cgi-script:

--
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/viewcvs-0.9.2/lib/viewcvs.py", line 2625, in run_cgi
    main()
  File "/usr/local/viewcvs-0.9.2/lib/viewcvs.py", line 2578, in main
    view_directory(request)
  File "/usr/local/viewcvs-0.9.2/lib/viewcvs.py", line 1144, in
view_directory
    fileinfo, alltags = get_logs(full_name, rcs_files, view_tag)
  File "/usr/local/viewcvs-0.9.2/lib/viewcvs.py", line 1076, in get_logs
    rlog =
popen.popen(os.path.normpath(os.path.join(cfg.general.rcs_path,'rlog')),
chunk, 'r')
  File "/usr/local/viewcvs-0.9.2/lib/popen.py", line 33, in popen
    pid = os.fork()
OSError: [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable
--

Since it's thrown on os.fork(), I suspect cygwin is the culprit, but
that's just my gut feeling. 

I am running ViewCVS from Apache (the version comes with cygwin) within
Cygwin, launched from inetd, since the standalone server would garble
bytes at 3-4k intervals, for some strange reason.

I am not overly familiar with Python, Apache or the internals of Unix,
(yet :), so I haven't really got much of a clue on what to do or how to
solve this. Any hints or tips would be appreciated.


Regards
/Marcus
